Finally! The Off-Season Can Start

[Docwaukee]

Did we sign Cole yet?  

seriously though, while that was a really good WS, I'm ready for some good stuff to start happening for the halos in prep for their 2020 season.

Exclusive look at Gerrit Cole in an Angels uniform

sweet hat 

[Pancake Bear]

Bye Kole.

Hi Cole.

[ScottT]

2020 has the same numbers as 2002. Should be a good year for the Angels. Numerology or some shit. 

[Angelsjunky]

It seems like we've already exhausted Hot Stove. We need some actual moves and rumors to chew on.

Holy smokes! I thought they were kidding. I went and watched the post game interview and they're absolutely right. Wore a Boras hat, and from the way he spoke, it was clear he didn't have any interest in returning to Houston.

He wasn't a dick about it or anything, but he also wasn't happy. Guy's team just lost game  seven. I get it.

I’m pretty sure he’s pissed he didn’t get to come in and pitch after Greinke

Yeah, I'm guessing he's not happy about not getting an opportunity to stop the bleeding at really any point. Probably a bit of general frustration too from simply losing the WS and also his first start against Washington. Could be that he also knows Houston has no serious intention of signing him and he's unhappy to be leaving without a ring, too. 

Either way, dude sounds like he's ready to be out of Houston.

Wearing a Boras corp hat is a good bit lol.  The Angels aren’t getting any break with this guy.

Obviously the outlier, but Weaver has proven otherwise...

I'm not expecting a break per se, but I'm hoping that the Angels can make a fair offer to get things close, say 7/$225m, and anyone else will have to significantly overpay to get to the same level of interest. 7/$250m+. Uncomfortable numbers that the Angels won't have to go to, but other teams will to get a shot.

Hopefully Cole is upset he didn’t get to come in after the Rendon homer and has no desire to try and chase that ring with the Astros

Welp it certainly seems like he’s quite pissed.

Last night couldn’t have gone better for us. Now Cole still REALLY wants a ring and is pissed at the Stros

He said that winning a lot is fun.

[Docwaukee]

it would be amazing if he signed with the halos on the first day of free agency.  

[T.G.]

Some are already predicting Rendon to the Rangers...

Yeah that’s the prediction by many. AL West could potentially be quite the division next season 

I’m no longer ever writing off Oakland and I expect them to be right back in the mix for a WC spot again

Would make Eppler’s life a hell of a lot easier and allow him to really focus in on other pitching

I think we should start calling you, "Doc Demento."

And less amazing if he does so with the Dodgers

My wife’s old boss has ownership of that name.
