There is potential for disaster there.

As there is with any prospect you trade for, one could argue Puig might actually be the safer bet. I see both sides of this argument so I'm not going to go back and fourth with you just simply pointing out there's always a risk involved with trading for prospects with no ML experience

Starting to think only Smith is moved for some random, non-exciting prospect. They can wait to trade Santiago, Escobar, etc in the offseason and it may be more attractive to do that anyway considering how terrible the FA crop is.

[CanadianHalo]

Like the last couple season I fully expect to be disappointed come deadline time.

Im guessing Eppler maybe moves Joe Smith and that's it

[Farmbuildingfan]

Arte has no interest in anyone else's prospects. He will trade for veteran utility players if he has prospects to give up, which he does not have.

Hence, the Angels have predictably made no moves.,

The Mets are “on the verge” of completing a trade to acquire outfielder Jay Bruce, reports ESPN’s Buster Olney (on Twitter). Earlier today, Yahoo’s Jeff Passan reported that the Mets were the favorites to land the Reds’ slugger.

Dodgers just got Rich Hill and Josh Reddick

thats makes like 8 OFers in the Dodgers now 

[HaloCory22]

Yet, we have 2.

[Angel Oracle]

Good luck with that, ChiSox!   

You do realize that his OPS has gotten worse every season, and is only barely over .700 now?    Not to mention his wonderful clubhouse presence and baseball I.Q.

[Angel Oracle]

Who are the Dogs giving up for Reddick and Hill?

[kevinb]

Angels no where to be found while Billy the apprentice is playing Diablo 3. But at least he is good at communications. Which was his huge selling point if I remember correctly

Sources: Frankie Montas, Grant Holmes and Jharel Cotton going to #Athletics. @Jeffpassan first on Montas.

Thanks, Montas is no doubt the key to that deal, although Holmes is potentially solid.

Smith for Schwarber sounds good

Puig is good as gone I'd like to think. Watch the Dodgers package him for Sale.

They have the minor league talent to get him. 

[bloodbrother]

Looking likely that Smith is at least getting moved. Wouldn't expect much back for obvious reasons but at least it'll be something

[Troll Daddy]

I'm so  excited about trading Smith ... I can hardly wait to see who the Angels get. 

[bloodbrother]

Scott Downs for Cory Rasmus is probably the barometer to base this on. That's the type of return you can expect

[kevinb]

Yup. In a sellers market the Angels sitting in their hands not trying to capitalize on this insane market for relief
