   What's the deal?! Tons of trades/signings happening all over the place, and we got David Freese and Joe Smith. I really hope we're not finished. Joe Blanton looks like a lock for that #5 spot right now.

   LA Times: Angels are not shopping Mark Trumbo

   GM Jerry Dipoto says the club is not trying to trade the slugger and is instead looking to shore up the starting pitching, perhaps through a deal at the winter meetings next week. Mark Trumbo may be the most valuable trade chip the Angels have to play in their pursuit of starting pitching, but heading into next week's winter meetings in Orlando, Fla., that chip remains firmly in General Manager Jerry Dipoto's pocket, where it will probably stay.

   Daniel Hudson non-tendered

   • 1.4k views

   There's a ton of talent available out there, specifically relief pitching talent. We can all speculate which players Dipoto should pick up, but this one actually makes a ton of sense. Angels need pitching depth, Hudson wouldn't cost much at all, he's one of Dipoto's former prospects/players that he brought in during his tenure as Arizona's AGM. Does anyone else see Dipoto making this move and actually really supporting it?

    There are certain players, like C.J. Wilson, who I hated before their Angel tenure but started liking them when they joined the Angels. There are others, though, who I don't think I could ever tolerate, even in Angel red, such as A.J. Pierzynski, A-Rod, and Dustin Pedroia. Who are some of yours? In before Pujols and Hamilton are mentioned.
