Why?

They have the same amount of control left, and Lux is much worse.

It would be Lux and other players from Dodgers.

That would make more sense.

The post I was quoting didn’t mention other players.

Relevant updates…one mentions Angels players, one does not.

He was responding to my original post and left out some of it.

Not sure what Perry means by "giant returns." He's not going to get "giant returns" on Ward, unless he means a 45 FV guy in the Giants system.

OK but the Angels always get criticized for lackluster returns and fans stomp their feet wanting more.

If Minasian is aiming a little higher and wants to try to do better, what is the compliant?

It should be pretty straightforward to get a 50 FV (top 100 guy) for Ward.

There aren’t a ton of controllable, above average outfielders available out there. And there’s a lot of demand.

50 FV - Angels Factor = 45 FV

Would or should halos trade Jose Soriano as he would bring back a great package of young talent.

I would only trade guys with expiring contracts and guys that are going to get expensive in arbitration. Also Anderson as he is not in long range plans. Personally, i would not hesitate to trade Trout if someone is willing to take on all or most of his deal.

That's a tough one only because he has had 2 TJ surgery so far so his elbow is  always in question.  How many control years does he have left ?

Trout has a no trade contract.

He's just over one year of service time now, so unless he were to make super-two status he's got five years of control still after this one.

[totdprods]

I’d entertain offers for Soriano (honestly anyone except O’Hoppe) but no way am I actively shopping him.

The injury history is enough to at least consider moving him IMO if someone offers a haul, and a team like Baltimore certainly could offer a top hitting prospect and a couple low-level pitching prospects who have a high ceiling. Could go a long way to restocking the farm with other pieces traded off and some good drafts. 

That said, I love watching him pitch.

"Tyler Anderson, Angels SP

He’s putting together an outstanding season in the second year of a $40 million, three-year deal.

Best guess: Braves.

Other guesses: Orioles, Brewers, Dodgers.

Taylor Ward, Angels OF

KC is getting little out of the outfield, and now Hunter Renfroe is out.

Best guess: Royals.

Other guesses: Phillies, Giants, Dodgers."

Why not?  Our 2B has been a black hole this season.  Lux, an OF like Vargas, a C, and maybe a SP like Knack.  They’d get Anderson and a reliever, Garcia or Moore.

Lux and his 0.1 War is not going to help the "black-hole". rather have Stefanic get a shot at 2nd. 

[Vlad27Trout27]

I messed this before, But I would love to us try to Get Jimenez  from the white Sox and see if we get something out of him. heck I'd trade Suarez for him.

Kopech was another guy, but it seems like he is going to be expansive and is starting to get a market

Do the Giants have a 45 FV guy who is also 6'7" & 280? Maybe that would be the "giant return".

I’d hope they steer clear of KC, their farm is about as bad as ours.

I think Anderson to Milwaukee is a good fit. I’m not sold that they’ll get top prospects for Anderson, but rather young MLB-ready guys who are injured or need a change of scenery. Sort of like Moniak as a return, but a little safer. Someone like Aaron Ashby and Garrett Mitchell since they’re loaded with OFers and Ashby’s shoulder injury could make his outlook murky. By that same token, Gavin Lux.
