The Official (2024) Los Angeles Angels Trade Deadline Thread

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

It sounds like a pretty prototypical deadline return for a rental like Luis Garcia during a typical deadline. Usually a Dylan Carlson type player or a fringe A ball arm without much chance of sticking. Also basically a copy of the Moniak trade.

But once trades started happening the Angels wisely held off.

Carlson would make a nice four-way platoon with Adell, Moniak, and Hiura.

My hot takes for the day:

1. Scott to the Os for Seth Johnson, Gillles, and Chace.

2. Crochet to the Dogs--> De Paula, Freeland, Morales, & Hurt 

3. Garcia to the Red Sox--> Dobbins & Brandon Walter 

4. Flaherty to the Indians-->  Cantllo & Messick 

5. Pillar  to the Royals--> Noah Cameron 

6. Anderson to the Twins--> Gabriel Gonzales, Doncon, & Morris

With that Twins deal we might have to take some salary back as they are crying poor. But if we did take back money then you could ask for better prospects.

In all honesty, if the deals are for marginal AAAA type players, I'm OK with no deals.  I do appreciate that the Angels finally moved away from mediocrity this year.  The change is refreshing.

I'd still rather have those types of guys as organizational depth beyond this year as opposed to keeping Garcia, Pillar, Strickland, etc around to burn off the rest of their contracts this year.

Yup, meant to say that we're eating about 5 mil, and even than we're getting there #9,17 and 23 prospect per BA. Which is pretty good get.

Also should mention this, but Crochet signs a 4 year extension with the Dogs as-well, eats up the arbs years and he'll be set to be a free agent by his age 30 season.

I think we should take a shot and sign Brett Phillips as a pitcher and see what he can do. The worst-case scenario is that he and Moore can be our tank commanders in the bullpen, helping us secure that top pick in next year's draft!

Using the Ohtani rule, could you use him as a pinch runner and then use him out of the bullpen, or the other way around?

Why stop there? Let's get him some reps in the outfield, give him starts at DH, let him start on the mound, and even close games. He could be the ultimate utility player and a true jack-of-all-trades! Who needs Ohtani when we can have Brett? The Ultimate Tank Commander!

If the Marlins trade Trevor Rogers, it’ll basically be Reid Detmers’ equal, much like how Lane Thomas is to Taylor Ward.

The Marlins are smart enough to know when to sell.

Would you have taken the offer Cleveland made for Thomas for Ward? Clemmey, Tena and Ramirez Jr.?

I keep going back and forth. Clemmey would have been a great get and a good upside lefty to slot in with the Dana, Kent, Jordan, TGA wave…but I’m not as thrilled about the rest of the deal.

Trade news: The New York Yankees and Chicago Cubs are in agreement on a trade that will send right-handed reliever Mark Leiter Jr. to the Yankees and infielder Ben Cowles and right-handed reliever Jack Neely to the Cubs, sources tell me and @kileymcd.

Moreno is the ONLY one who thinks they can contend in 2025.

Ever the misguided

 

[angelsnationtalk]

The Marlins have multiple teams making their bids for LHP Trevor Rogers, per sources. A deal could be getting close as @CraigMish reported.

honestly, it just depends on whether you believe Ward can rebound. Personally, I see him as more of a .250-.270 hitter with a .330-.340 OBP who can hit around 20-25 home runs. He's under contract until 2026, so if he finishes the season strong, you might consider trading him in the offseason. But Clemmey also has a big upside, and a big risk, Tena looks more of UTL and Ramierez is struggling but still young.

Very quiet morning so far surprisingly. 4.5 hours to go…
