It wouldnt be a "great" offseason, but yes, it would be a hell of a lot better roster.

I know we all want cole more than anything, but rendon would be huge. If for nothing else, it opens up decently valuable trade chips.

As much as i love Fletch(David not Jeff) it possibly opens the door for the Angels to trade him for a quality SP.

Who do I want Cole to go to if it isn't us...Dogs or Yanks....ugh....I live around obnoxious Dodger fans..I only have to read about the yankees fans online...

So Eppler believes he's going to be a Yankee? Ok.

If we don't get Cole but end the offseason with Rendon, Bumgardner, Darvish, and a catcher...is that a great offseason?

What is it with people and Bumgarner? 

5.29 - That’s his ERA in 85 innings on the road last year. 

4.97 - That’s on the road in 2018. 

This guy is a #4. Take him out of the NL and SF and he’ll turn into a pumpkin. This is Jered weaver all over again.

why not do both?

It’s required in the aw.com bylaws that you have to use this gif instead of writing the sentence. Here’s a freebie for you, but don’t make such an egregious rookie mistake like this again.

Going into the offseason the Angels were the favorites. Going into The Decision, the Yankees are, apparently. Gonna be a lame few hours/days until this is resolved, and worse if he goes to NY. 

[ScottT]

Everyone thought Joe Maddon would manage the Angels.

Sometimes everyone's right. Sometimes everyone's wrong.

Blah blah blah

I'm actually starting to let my belief slip, too. 

The longer this drags on...

Watch him end up on the Dodgers in the end

I'm just waiting to hear what David Vassegh has to say about all of this.

1- Angels sign Cole and Rendon, plus acquire a catcher in trade for middle rated prospect.

2- Dodgers were wise not to spend so much money on those two guys, they’re not even any good really, and we never wanted them. We’ve got a great team, no need to change it. - David Vassegh

I would rather Cole go to the Yankees then the Dodgers if I'm picking.

I was confident this morning.  Right now I am less than confident.

I said this before but someone (maybe multiple people) said they wouldn't have to face him if he went to the dogs.

 

F that, f the dogs.

I despise the Dodgers but I'd rather Cole be out of the AL. Yankees getting him just makes them that much better, and creates another obstacle for the Halos

[popo85]

F all this, get Rendon and 2 starting pitchers.

I understand that totally, it's a tough one for me. But damn dude, I just hate the Dodgers winning anything and especially when it's against us.

We ought to be the favorites because the Yankees don’t need him. We do. I think it comes down primarily to money and there’s no reason we should be outspent. 

I’m just nervous that the Angels decide they won’t spend the max or Cole just really wants to be a Yankee. 

[tdawg87]

I don't even like Cole. 

[Pancake Bear]

To me, losing Cole means ending up with a handful of secondary pitchers. That turns us into the Twins of 2019. A good regular season team that will probably get swept in the first round. If we make it that far. I think we need that clear number one, and there’s no other guy like that.
