Petit is what the team has lacked- what was that cost, $8 million for two years?

$11 million for 2 years and his ERA climbed from 2.76 as an Angels to 3.43 as an A's setup man. Strikeouts dropped from 10/9 to 7/9.

I know but I’m ok with it.

Marlins want Robles and Kieboom from the Nats for Realmuto.  Which is basically Adell and Canning.

Sounds about right.

Were not likely to get anyones top players via trade, because were not trading our few silver bullets. Our farm has improved, but the big club needs them too much.

Arte is going to have to open the wallet this winter.

yep.  I think Adell is untouchable and we need controllable top of the rotation SP.  Canning could fit that bill.  

Our redundancy is Jones/Rengifo/Fletcher, Marsh and maybe Thaiss.  We have no redundancy on the pitching side.  

Brewers gave up Phillips for Moustakas.  Top 100 guy.  (overrated imo but still.  Personally think Ward and Thaiss are better).  Travis Shaw hasn't played 1 inning of 2b at any level in pro ball.  

Kinsler's value is peaking although losing MIL as a potential destination kinda hurts.

We have a Robles.

Interesting, still think if a team trades for him it will probably be an overpay

For Archer's career, he's thrown 48% of his pitches against teams in the AL East. Here are his splits for different metrics ALE vs Rest:

ERA: 4.02 / 3.40

wOBA: .311/.293

K-BB% 17% / 20%

HR/9: 1.12 / 0.88

SwSTR%: 11.8 / 13.5

Chase%: 26.9/29.5

Kinsler > Dozier 

Giants?

"Following trades of Eduardo Escobar and Ryan Pressly, Twins fan favorite Brian Dozier seems all but destined to be donning another uniform on August 1st. Mike Berardino of the Pioneer Press reports that both the Indians and Giants have been scouting the second baseman this week, who’s set to become a free agent at season’s end."

Kinsler to boston just seems so obvious.

Maybe not to the Red Sox....

Can Kinsler even be traded? I know he waived his NTC to come here, but I would assume the clause continues to remain valid (meaning, he would have to waive it again if the Angels wanted to trade him).

[2020worldseries]

“His contract, signed when he was with the Rangers, allows him to veto trades to any club on a 10-team list. According to the New York Post, those teams include not only the Angels, Mets and Brewers, but also the Yankees, Dodgers, Giants, Blue Jays, Rays, A's and Padres.“

Shit I didn’t realize the Brewers were on the list. I thought it was just CA and NY teams

Looks like Hamels to the Cubs is done.

Glad we don't have to face him anymore.

vs Angels:

.188 BAA, .575 OPS

[tdawg87]

Kinsler and Alvarez for Mike Shawaryn and Durbin Feltman.

[2020worldseries]

Thats too light in this market, Twins got more than that from the Astros for just Pressly with only one year of control

[2020worldseries]

Im probably in the minority here, but I'd give Swihart a chance

Maybe Alvarez + Kinsler for Feldman and Swihart

If you hit with Swihart the trade is a grand slam

I don't think you are able to waive a "no trade contract' multiple times.

[rottiesworld]

I think if you waive your no trade and are traded to another team should terminate the no trade part in the future.

Parker should be able to pull back some teams top 10-15 prospect. 

Make that prospect(s)

 

It is time to starting getting multiple prospects.

We basically did exactly that with the Maldonado trade.

I assume you are referring to the international money.

Did the Angels directly acquire someone in addition to Sandoval?

I was referring to the international money, which will allow them to acquire more guys or a better guy.  Probably more valuable than the second prospect they could get for a Maldonado.

In future posts, don’t forget to capitalize the name of my new favorite minor leaguer.
