Insider tip: Ward is going somewhere. Or he's not. It could be this one team, but maybe another. Or maybe he stays.

FACTS.

No I asked if Ward could go to SF after Soler was traded. Minnesota because of help they need in OF. Arizona because of Walker injury. I'm listing teams that could be in play.

[Stradling]

Every year we think prices are crazy inflated at the deadline then after a few years you look back and 90% of the prospects have flamed out and trading the player or not trading the player would have about the same impact. 
That being said, I’d prefer all the rumored players be dealt. 

[Angels 1961]

Will know soon what Angels direction is going to be. Could keep Ward, Rengifo and Anderson. Off season try and add resign Carlos Estevez. I hope this does not happen.

As long as it doesn’t have internet access it’s a win for everyone.

Bad news: it's Trout's rehab program, so there's not much hope he'll improve this year.

Angels LHP Tyler Anderson is one name to watch today. He is among the most consistent starters in @MLB this season, even though he does not post gaudy strikeout numbers. He is under contract for $13M next year, a very reasonable figure. @MLBNetwork

Thanks for clearing that up, AJ. You are a true voice of reason.

It would be pretty funny if they kept everyone signed beyond this year under the guise of "competing" next year.

I think that is a possibility.  We'll see.

Ever since they hired Ron I thought they’d be creeping back into the contention mix by second-half of ‘25, and then more seriously by 2026. Haven’t seen any real reason to doubt that this season, with the exception of Detmers cratering and Rendon and Trout being hurt again. 

They’ll badly need a vet SP, a vet bat, and probably two vet relievers this winter though.

Bleacher Report Final predictions 

Ward and Anderson to the Padres for 

RHP Adam Mazur and RHP Bradgley Rodriguez 

Luis Rengifo to the Yanks for 

Oswald Peraza and RHP Zach Messinger

 

[angelsnationtalk]

The Angels could move Luis Rengifo and/or Taylor Ward today.

The Yankees, Red Sox, and Pirates have inquired on the Angels' available bats.@MLBNetwork

I bet the deal in place for García was to STL for Dylan Carlson, and it wasn’t going to move the needle enough for either team to feel like they had to pull the trigger. 

Saw something about STL being interested in Dylan Floro from the Nationals, who were also interested in Carlson. Garcia comps well with Floro.

Angels then saw the returns relievers were getting and decided they wanted to see if anyone topped that offer, and St. Louis was fine with it because they are indifferent about keeping Carlson either way and don’t want to eat into farm much for a marginal pen unfree that won’t make the season for them either way, but would be a nice add just in case.

Yes with the Padres,

Hell no with the Yankees.

Still don't understand trading for Dylan Carlson.  The Angels seem to already have many "Dylan Carlson" type players.

Or Bowden was just wrong.

Vaughan Grissom and Everson Pereira both seem like they’d be good and likely players to target. Rengifo for Grissom and a MLB-ready Boston SP feels possible, or Pereira and arms from NYY.

I mentioned yesterday, Ward and Lane Thomas have almost identical career numbers (it’s freaky) and while Ward is a couple years older (30 vs. 28) he also has an extra year of control, so they grade out to have almost the exact same value. They should be able to get at least one of Solometo, Harrington or Ashcraft as a headliner from a Pittsburgh deal, or one of Fitts, Perales or Gonzalez from BOS, or Hampton or Warren from NYY.
