What did IP post?

He said teams were scouting him. I believe he stated 3 teams but he can correct me if I'm wrong.

Obviously this has likely changed in some way.

If IP is hearing things then I can guess one of the teams that’s interested.

Do not wait on Ward trade him if u can. Get younger halos few years away. Angels will have many trades in next few days. Yes I'd trade Joyce but I'd keep Detmers.

So trade him for a bunch of pennies?

[totdprods]

Canning has a 4.36 ERA in his last 18 starts after a rough first three. Some of the supporting data isn’t great, but given his low price tag and control through next year I would think he’d still have a lot of value to mid/low budget teams holding down the back of the rotation.

Close! 

The Nets.

Per BTH, Sounds like Garcia is gone. Listening on Canning and TA, so that's good to hear and also listening on Rengifo and Ward.

Jim Bowden said the Phillies way over paid for Estevez 

They did.  Had they only been able to get one of them and some filler it would have been a good deal.  To get both was stupidly good.

[DMVol]

If the reporting is accurate, I’m a little surprised that we are that engaged on the “beyond 24” guys. I thought Arte would draw the line with Estévez and García and any other 24 guys. We’ll see. Still not sure we’ll pull the trigger on any others. 

[Second Base]

I’m highly skeptical the Angels already have a deal in place for Garcia. Teams don’t just sit there for no reason when they are offered exactly what they want, and contenders don’t think “ok we like this guy but it’s ok, we don’t need him right now, maybe in a few weeks”.

They may have a couple offers they’re interested in, but I don’t think there’s some unofficial deal in place.

“The Angels have a deal in place that they like for reliever Luis Garcia.”
 

If you have a deal you like, then make the deal.  What are you waiting for?

Relatively speaking, it’s not that hard to get an OF in free agency if you feel you need one in 2025.  Trading a guy like Ward really isn’t very risky.  You cash in on another team’s immediate need.

He was being scouted by a few teams, one of them had been worried the velocity fluctuations but liked whatever was showing up in their algorithms. I think the game he left with an elbow irritation may mean ppl are out on him, but I haven't followed up.

[Angelsjunky]

I'm in the camp of not trading away Ward for peanuts. At the very least, he's a solid average player that isn't a total hole in the lineup. That has value. He obviously isn't the guy he was looking to be in the first half of 2022, but I think he's at least the guy he was last year. He's not a bad guy to have around for the next couple years as we see what sort of player Rada might become.

So with Ward, I would put him on the market with the base asking value commensurate with 2022-23, not 2024. If someone sees him in the same light and offers accordingly, trade him and "youth up." If not, keep him around.

For Rengifo I'd have to be somewhat blown away: either a 50+ FV guy, or a pair of 45 FV guys.

I think I read that they were waiting on a counteroffer from another team. Probably not that unusual.

[Ochocinco!]

Give me a Passan bomb please!

 You’d think the angels would try to get their trades done today before the game like yesterday with Estevez. Unless they power through this day game and get back to business tomorrow 

[fan_since79]

Clean house. Sell, sell, sell.

Keep Rengifo, Neto, and O'Hoppe. Everyone else can go, for the right offer. 

So sick of the losing seasons. Anything's better than this current team.

And Arte...sell !!!

 

[Ochocinco!]

Just for fun based on the current market what could a package of Rengifo and TA net us from the O’s.

There was a report somewhere in this thread that the angels aren’t helping the dodgers in any capacity. Which I wholeheartedly believe that’s something Arte gave Perry as his sole instruction for the trade deadline

Because maybe they’re negotiating with another team about another player they’re selling and don’t want to lose leverage on the prospects they want.

Maybe they’re gonna get a good OF prospect for Garcia, but also want a good OF prospect for Anderson and that team will be less willing to include if the Angels are already getting another OF for Garcia.
