Says DiPoto....MLB TradeRumors

AL West Notes: Dipoto, A’s, Mariners

By Mark Polishuk [July 4, 2014 at 3:03pm CDT]

Here’s the latest from around the AL West…

Angels GM Jerry Dipoto is pleased with his starting pitching and doesn’t intend to pursue rotation upgrades, though the bullpen is still “not a finished product,” he tells MLB.com’s Alden Gonzalez and Matthew DeFranks. Sources in the industry tell Gonzalez/DeFranks that the Halos are looking for a situational lefty and another possible closer candidate to bolster current stopper Joe Smith and the newly-acquired Jason Grilli.

I would agree with Dipoto

Watch us trade full-time position players for relief pitching. 

 

Then give Pujols a raise for his excellent "contributions" to the team.

I like the strategy.

I'd like JD to address the bullpen prior to the start of the year at some point.  

 

I would be ecstatic to get a lefty and closer at this point though.  This team would be really really good if that happens.

Huston Street and Joe Thatcher, get it done, Jerry.
