I am fine with the plan to not trade players under contract in 2025.

WWBSD!!

Quick glance at just the stats, looks like it's actually a nice return for a 37 year old relief pitcher

Lego is 17th on MLB Prospect list. Don’t see the others,

Teams overpaying, so clearly we don't do anything. TA going to revert next season. 

 

[Redondo]

Ok, why didn't Perry make more trades?

We heard he had deals in place and some were saying he was trying to get more

Looks like he was sleeping on the job

Yep, better to hold on to them so they can continue to contribute to a non contending team and then ultimately trade them away for less than what they could have gotten at this deadline. Great strategy

[Erstad Grit]

Last time we didn't trade a SP having a good year because he was signed for the following year.

Imagine how frustrating it must be for Trout dealing with one injury after another and then realizing what team you play for if and when you are healthy enough to play. 

$30 million per year helps.

Why do we continue putting 27,000 butts in stands even on Sunday? This team needs the fans to stay home until Arte sells the team.

There was maybe 11,000 in the stands last Sunday, if that.

Hopefully this will lower the price on third party sites for this Sunday. I promised my kid a Mickey Mouse bobblehead and kids don’t forget anything.

This was really frustrating.

I am okay with keeping Rengifo, though.

Only if they extend his contract beyond 2025.

[Dtwncbad]

They are in the entertainment business, and one of the primary objective is to get people engaged and interested.

I am really not sure what else they could possibly do to better achieve the opposite result.

Being a fan of today’s version of this team is such a waste of time.

[totdprods]

Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he held out too long or asked too much. A lot of the deals that happened felt very akin to what the Angels could have/should have done…Lane Thomas, Yusei Kikuchi, Bryan De La Cruz, Amed Rosario, even Trevor Rogers and the bad one (Dylan Carlson) were almost carbon copies of what the Angels were shopping and which teams were involved. 

If holding is what they thought was best, then we better see a winning/.500 club here on out, some good performances from Lugo, Klassen, Aldegheri, maybe some MLB impact from Moore or Cortez, and Arte plunking down some reasonable (but not excessive or reactionary) money this winter. I still think they can be entering WC discussion late 2025.

Not sure how he did it but Stoneman was able to do it. He was also a better GM than everybody since. 

Morono didn’t hire Stoneman.

Either that, or Morono doesn’t care anymore.

[totdprods]

Former Angels groundskeeper Cole Irvin was DFA’ed by Baltimore, and I think he’d actually be a decent guy to add to back of rotation/long-relief audition. 

[Angel Oracle]

How many non-contenders would have held on to expiring contracts like Pillar and Strickland?

Trout and Rendon are both done!

I still wonder if they got long CoVid.  If so, F U Fauci!

What

[AngelsFaninGA]

This is truly the most unserious organization in sports

[SlappyUtilityMIF]

Lugo 3b/OF only one in their Top 30 at #17. Not bad for a 37+ year old reliever.

I want to see what Hercules can do with the short wall in Rightfield...

 

[Angel Oracle]

If you plan to contend in 2025, please tell us how the heck you are doing that with this team and the lack of depth in the minors?

[SlappyUtilityMIF]

I'm surprised by the Pillar & Strickland non-moves! I'd release Pillar now so he can go to the ATL...

[Angel Oracle]

Okay, I deleted the Trout/Rendon and CoVid post.

The question remains though.   How is it that two former superstar players on the same team get injured all the time over the past 4 years?

Past 3 2/3 seasons:

Trout averaging 72 games played 

Rendon averaging 47 games played

Arte's worst "I know best" signing...
