Angels trade Zack Cozart and Will Wilson to the Giants for cash and PTBNL

[wopphil]

No way the Giants ate all of Cozart's money, but perhaps half.

I assume they used Wilson to get the Giants to eat the rest of Cozart's contract....which, yeah, there's a reason they are trying to clear payroll. Buckle up, folks

We all know they were going to sign free agents so this makes sense. No need to look that far into it though 

[Bronson]

Yeah something big is happening.

 

Hold onto your butts people.

The Giants had a spot open on their DL so it was a perfect fit.

You don't trade a 1st round draft pick for a shitty PTBNL and cash. Something is brewing folks.

Yeah as much as getting Cozart’s money off the books helps regardless I don’t think you attach your 1st rounder unless there’s something set in stone

This is starting to feel like the Ohtani chase, when teams started making moves in advance to acquire more money. Let’s see if the Yanks move Happ.

The PTBNL is Brandon Crawford... Gerrit's brother-in-law!

Right?

Right?

Naw they took all of it. We wouldn't have gotten rid of Will Wilson if they didn't.

They would take all of that money because they got our #1 draft pick from last year and they're building their farm to include offense for the future.

Can’t you do this after you have whoever you signed signed?

I believe you don’t do it unless you know for sure.

There’s plenty of time before the season starts to try and dump payroll.

I guess you can trade Cozart after all. I am going to miss him and his 12 games he played for the Angels. 

Post of the year (thread).

[rafibomb]

And also another cleared roster spot. Imagine if we sign both Rendon and Cole lmao

Obviously whoever they have their eyes on they're signing. They wouldn't have done it if they weren't sure.

Phillies signing Gregorius could indicate a Rendon isn’t happening for them.

Starting to think the Angels are gonna pull off Cole and Rendon.

Dammit. They gave up a first round player and couldn't get the team to eat all that salary???

Fletch says they’re paying all of it. 

[aznhockeyguy]

How much is part of the contract?  Big move incoming?

 

EDIT: Fletch with the no money tweet.  I'll go with the local guy.
