Morosi: Angels are interested in Matthew Boyd

That's certainly true, but I'd look at Boyd as a replacement for Skaggs. It's basically a wash. Ohtani and *insert FA starter here* replace Harvey and Cahill. Pretty big upgrade overall.

Yep. Even just on a hypothetical WAR level, if Boyd is about as good as Skaggs, even if he isn't quite as good next year he adds +1 win from this year. Ohtani and a solid #3 starter, say 3 WAR each, replace the -1 WAR of Harvey/Cahill, so that's +6-7 more.

So that adds +7-8 wins. We're on pace for 83 wins. Making those changes, with all else being equal, yields 90-91 wins.

Morosi also just said that the angels will make a serious push for Cole in the offseason.

Let's all remember though that Ohtani has pitched all of 50+ innings since 2018.    They can't count on him for anymore than about 100 innings in 2020, and maybe 120-130 innings in 2021.  If they want him to stay healthy.

I really don't know where you are getting these innings numbers from. Obviously they're going to be careful with him but if he's dominating they can't just be like "Welp, we gotta shut you down, Shohei" in July.

LOL. What we are looking to acquire not the mold we already have!!

I don't know where you're getting this from. I'd understand Ohtani being on a strict innings limit, but if Heaney and Canning stay healthy, they should be a good bit above that. I also think Barria is capable of pitching 150 innings or so. 

Basically, if none of the returning pitchers throw more than 130 innings, sum ting wong.

Did you have a lobotomy or something?

Trade simulator says:

Boyd = Thaiss, Ward, and Marsh.

Sounds about right. Giving up Marsh would suck but that's what happens when you make trades.

I'd give up Marsh and one of Thaiss/Ward, with the other rounded out with A/A+ arms.

You guys don't like it? Chances are it's a fair trade then.

[HaloCory22]

Tigers apparently looking to keep Boyd. They haven't been blown away with any offer. They asked Houston for Tucker gives you a bit of an idea on the market for him. Then again.. This is coming from Nightengale so this probably means he's getting traded.

[arch stanton]

I can’t see a team wanting that specific trio. I’d imagine they’d want one pitcher coming back their way

Ward, Marsh, and a pitcher. I want to keep Thaiss. I know my trade wouldn't get it done though.

That pitcher would probably have to be Suarez, and we're back to square one.

A trade for Boyd and signing Cole in the offseason sure seems like the best case scenario to me.

Unquestionably.
