Yeah, Bleacher Report, I know. But it is Jeff Passan..and it is kind of true.

I do think someone will want Syndergaard, but will be leery about giving up more than a decent prospect. He's not a lottery ticket.

I don't think Syndegaard is the kind of pitcher that's going to THE difference maker for a team.

But he could be THE piece

There will definitely be interest, pick up some of his remaining salary and even add a reliever or prospect to get something that will help.

He's a great get for a team that already has a solid #1 through #3/#4, to have as that insurance guy if someone gets hurt or as a late-round SP option in playoffs, but that's about it. 

Sort of like what the Yanks hoped to do with Heaney. As such, I'm not expecting much more of a return than what Heaney got, TBH.

[T.G.]

I'm just skeptical... but if the Angels can get someone useful, great.

Like the title of this thread says... the Angels pitching staff has "fluctuating" stuff... Who really wants to take a chance on that?

When is the trading deadline anyway?

The title is misleading as the story only discusses Syndergaard, not any other starters.  He’s not used to pitching every fifth day and his velocity isn’t what it was.

Yeah, this sounds right.

Any excuse to start a thread to talk about stuff that's already being talked about in another thread.

I think your rate of talking about other posters and not actual content or baseball may be challenging cals. Well done.

p.s. The thread title is taken from the article.

Sounds like GMs are trying to drive down the price for Syndergaard.

[DCAngelsFan]

I remember a study awhile back that said the most important thing in the post season for a starting pitcher is their strike-out rates.

Syndergaards strike-out rates are below-average and everything about him puts him at maybe slightly above league average.

He's a depth piece, a #3, (at best, and that's a stretch), for a playoff run - but most teams wouldn't want him even starting in the post-season.  

I'd look for someone in that 45-50 FV range, in say, A+ or AA ball, (not "near-ML-ready") and depending on what's available, slightly prefer a position player - C, MIF, or OF.  it would probably have to be from a team awash in those mid-level prospects like the Rays, Dodgers, Brewers, or Guardians, and we'd probably have to pick up at least half of his salary. 

Not sure a 45+ is on the table, but that's what I'd hope for.  

[Taylor]

In this thread: Yeah, his value probably isn't that high.

Also in this thread: I wouldn't trade him unless we get at least two high range prospects and one mid range prospects.

Maybe the angels can trade for a new T5 for Trout and a silk thong for Rendon to show off his vaginal reconstructive surgery.

Eat some salary to make it work.
