Oh I forgot about the 12 million. Effing awesome. Watch our stupid ass GM panic because his ass is firmly planted on the hot seat (his own effing doing) and pull a Tony Reagins and acquire Vernon Wells and his entire effing contract. 

The modern day version would be basically like trading Brian Goodwin for David Price....all 96 effing million. Sweet. 

Maybe just go for Chris Sale too. Surely his elbow will hold up and we can bail the red Sox out if that hole they did themselves in.

Agreed.
I'd only take Price if they throw in Betts. If that's the case then they won't eat any of his salary and we'd give them a ton of prospects back.

Angels are going to shit on themselves with Rendon which makes 0 sense and then get Ryu who will NEVER repeat the season he had.

Only chance is for Eppler to make a big trade and screw the system over.

just heard about the Cole deal with the Skanks --

not sure how to feel -- we didn't get the guy we wanted but GEEZ did the Yankees tie up a lot of dollars on one position that pitches every five days.

knew when Strasburg signed the huge deal with the Nets that we were probably out of the running for Cole - no way Arte pays out another Pujols like contract like that.

I think it's probably best it's not our Halos paying out that contract for Cole,

It doesn’t solely suck on getting beat out on the Cole sweepstakes. It sucks ghat we struck out with Wheeler, and Strasburg. We also made a stupid deal by giving up our 1st round draft pick to get rid of a bad contract. It’s been an awful offseason. I wonder what Trout is thinking. I’m all for being positive but man of man. 

Trout couldn't care less. He is the highest paid player in MLB.

Exactly. Rendon makes absolutely no effing sense. Billy can talk about run differential all he wants but it won't effing matter if you're losing every game 8-7. 

Good pitching beats good hitting.

1) Then Arte shouldn’t say he’s all in.

2) How can the Yankees outbid us when their whole team and rotation is better than ours, their team is best in the AL, and we need an ace more than any team in baseball?

Just because we need something more doesn’t mean we have more money. We have a limit. So do the Yankees. Their limit is just higher than the Angels. We don’t live in a socialist society where because we want something or need something more we get it. Shit happens. We move on. Time for the Angels to put their big boy pants on and make this team better in 2020. Free agency is still early.

And we know that because look at who wins World Series. Teams like the Red Sox, National and Astros** who all had an incredible rotation. 

If he gets Rendon then where hell does Fletcher go? Dude was a nominee for a GG at 3B. Unless you trade Simmons which I doubt they do.
