Dipoto is swooping in to add Kinsler at catcher.

Oh no...they just said the Angels are happening this year.  That can't be good right?

Kinsler is demanding a season pass to Knott's and a gift card to the Hello Kitty dessert cart at the Spectrum.

Weird that there is no "throws up in your own mouth a little" reaction emoji.

douchey ex ranger.  

that always works well for us.  

[UndertheHalo]

Why didnt the Angels ever get linked to talks on Drury.  I've been hearing all day that the Dbacks would maybe move that guy.

if we overpay, I'm gonna be pissed.

My hope is the Phillies realize we are willing to move on to other options and lower their price for Hernandez.  And that is the hold up.

He's holding out especially for a dozen Casey's Cupcakes.

guessing hermosillo and jewell.  

[Make Angels Great Again]

The butthurt in this thread is incredible.

 

I'll be honest losing Hermosillo stings a bit though.

Edit: Nvm that was a guess by Doc, thought I read that as fact >_>

Ya, Im happy with kinsler, but obviously the price could change my mind. I don't expect to be too upset by it though.

That’s a bit of an overpay for one year of a 36 year old coming off his worst season, but makes sense.

Kinsler has friends? Really?  Wow.  I never would have guessed.  Are you sure?

LOL.

I remember whenever Justin Upton was previously traded over the years during his time on Ariz/Atl/SD one of his friends or his brother would be traded to/signed by his team. Mevlin/BJ Upton always found his way onto Justin Upton's teams.

I highly doubt a 36 year old making 11 million is going to cost more than a fringe prospect.

I can understand Kinsler waiving his no trade clause to come the Angels, but to do it to go to the Mets?  Come on now.
