Maybe we can get a discounted bundle deal if we sign both.

I'm sure both players want their money

Group discount for Cole, Rendon and Kuechel..... getter done Arte! The cherry on top would be upset Yankee, Dodger and Rangers (they think they are getting Rendon) fans.

[totdprods]

Thinking about this a little more...

What do the Angels need to do to separate them from the Yankees offer? Obviously, money is a big factor, but if Cole is concerned with year-in, year-out competing, the Angels need to make other moves to  supplement the team. He might be expecting the Angels to make another significant move to convince him they’re serious more than adding obscene money to his deal. 

Starting to think there could be some momentum behind the Angels signing Rendon in order to put them on par with the Yankees on the field (as close they can get right now at least) in order to also draw up favorably to their offer.

In which case, Cole might not need insane figures being thrown around. I mean really what’s the difference to him if he makes $32m or $36m annually, or $280m or $300m? If he’s all about breaking salary records or matching what other guys get, sure, it’s a consideration...but I don’t necessarily think that’s what’s going on here. Meaning the Angels might be able to get by on a fairly palatable contract IF 1) he really does have some hometown appeal and 2) the Angels make another huge signing - and probably a trade as well. 

And we could see those happen before Cole signs. So should we see a big trade or Rendon signing happen, I wouldn’t take it as a sign Cole is moving on. It could be the prerequisite to him agreeing the Angels are here to win it.

Cole would be replacing 33 starts of negative or neutral WAR pitching, so improves the team by 5-8 games. Tendon would be replacing some solid 2-3 WAR players so would add 3-5 wins, depending. 

Lets not mention tendons when discussing 300 mill angel pitcher contracts, alright?

I think you're spot on here. Having the Angels sign Rendon could show Cole that we're all in. Great idea.

7 year deal takes him through his age 36 season

Sign Cole, sign Rendon, sign Castro/Maldonado, trade for an Archer/Ray/DeSclafani/Quintana type, and call it an offseason. I’d like that team.

We all like that team.

Ugh I really hope all this Rendon talk today isn’t because the Angels feel like they’re losing out on Cole...

Really starting to worry

Anyone remember how it turned out when we needed a starting pitcher.  Lost out on the top pitching free agent and decided to sign an All Star outfielder instead?

In a vacuum, Rendon. But hard to say without all the other variables.

An offense that includes Trout, Rendon, Ohtani, Adell, and Marsh for the next 7+ years sounds like a lot of fun to watch.

Clearly you are sleeping on Bemboom

Arte told Eppler to go 4/97 for Rendon.

The more I think about it, the more Im convinced we wouldnt have given up so soon on cozart if we werent able to get some value back at 3B, like an anthony rendon type.
