Angels Interest in Will Smith and Tony Watson

[Chuck]

The Giants are dumb if they don't move a few RP's and get some position players in return,

With Farhan Zaidi at the helm, the Giants front office will be anything but dumb.

Zaidi expects to make a move in the next few days...

If they do trade for Will Smith I could see something like Leonardo Rivas plus one or two lower-tier types or perhaps something like Alex Ramirez plus ??? Something from our #15-25 range plus.

I'd rather not trade prospects for 1yr of a reliever at this point.

I can appreciate that perspective, particularly when you consider that Eppler rarely re-signs relievers.

Will Smith might be worth doing so. Seems like he’d be a solid shot at an extension or re-sign candidate since he started in this org and has age on his side. He could trend into a truly dominant arm for the next few seasons. It’s a gamble though.

I'd rather take a flier on Allen or Holland on a 1yr deal and then sign Smith in the off season.   Unless Eppler feels like he's getting a deal, but I feel like Zaidi would pluck a nice underrated prospect from our system.  Like Stiward or Hector Yan.  It's just not worth it to me considering that Billy has shown the ability to get a Robles or Petit or David Hernandez off waivers.

The guys we have now are likely better than the leftover crop of FA relievers.  I'd be OK starting the season with 1 of either Smith or Watson, to go with Bedrock, Buttery, Anderson, Pena and whoever fills out the last couple of roster spots.

Doesn’t Luis Garcia factor in for 2019?

It sounds like the stuff about The Giants relievers has been greatly exaggerated. 

Don’t hold your breath for this one.

Confirmed by the Angels or Giants?

we actually heard a rumor about something before it happened so it was unlikely true as we all know.

do you think this kinda stuff leaks for leverage purposes or is it merely random?

Sometimes it’s for leverage but often it’s just a matter of the media getting incomplete information. 

I think often that reporters get little slivers of information and then “the internet” grows them into much more. 

This entire thread came from one sentence at the bottom of a story that said simply the Angels have been in constant contact with the Giants about these two relievers. That could mean a lot of things.

So we're not getting Bumgarner?  

thanks Jeff.

I wonder how many 10 page threads we have where @Jeff Fletcher has one post and it's one of the last 5 in the entire thread?
