I am okay with keeping Rengifo, though.

[m0nkey]

This guy can move but Anderson can't

 

[Jason]

At this point I do not think it is hyperbole to say that winning is not a priority for this ball club.

Agreed. Not trading Anderson, Pillar, Strickland...even Canning...Perry really sucks ass.

Is it Perry though?  I can totally see Moreno saying only impending free agents get moved, and to keep Pillar and Strickland because he likes them around as "mentors".

Minasian should be fired and never offered another job if he made that call on his own,.

perry really dropped the ball here. 

How do you not trade Pillar or Strickland?

Probably fucken dump-fuck Arte got involved again. Fuck him!

Orioles get Gregory Soto.

Hey, at least trades are still trickling in.

There's a chance...

To some extent, I don't care. Part of Perry's job is to convince Arte that he's a dumbass, or at least that he needs to let Perry make the baseball decisions. He's either incapable of doing that or a bad GM...or, most likely, both.

Nice, let's run this 2024 team back in 2025.   It'll be different!

After the 6th GM firing, will you finally realize it doesn't matter as long as the boss stays the same.

Trout and Rendon will be healthy!

Unfortunately, you are most likely correct.

Isn't Pillar retiring after the season? Why wouldn't you trade him for literally anything?

Yes! Trout and Rendon will be fully healthy so that will be like making two huge off season acquisitions. 

[Angels in 2030]

I'm starting to consider that 2030 may be a bit optimistic for the Angels to get rid of Arte, clean house, eliminate the stench, rebuild and contend.

[Turd Ferguson]

This franchise continues to be an embarrassment.

Exactly. 

[greginpsca]

What a missed opportunity.

[stevestevens]

I cannot ever remember my fandom being at such a low point as it is right now.  This is the first year I will not be attending games.  I have not watched a game in several months.  I still check box scores and highlights but I honestly do not even care about that anymore.  This organization is a complete disgrace right now.  It is being run like K-Mart.  Switching the name to BigK to make it appear sexier.  Just keep doing the same thing hoping for something new and exciting but everyone knows there is no direction.  

What a freakin' joke.  

Not trading Ohtani set us back 4 years.  Not trading Anderson, Rengifo and Anderson set us back even longer.  Seriously, what are we even doing?  What is the direction of this organization.  No commitment to win now, no commitment to stock pile young talent....we just exist.

Kevin Pillar retirement night might sell a few more tickets.
