Both sides could have reasons to get a narrative going.  I'm just gonna wait out the inevitable unnamed sources and the eventual Jeff Fletcher story.

Ah yeah, it would make sense that the Angels don't want to report that Arte threw a tantrum. Not sure what the Dodgers would have to lie about. If they don't want the deal now they would probably just say so.

Does this sound like someone who backed out of the trade?

We don’t know yet why it fell apart....

Very true.

But apparently, there was a deal in place tuesday(?). We had nothing to do with the other drama...

One of the tweets a few pages ba k said the dodgers changed it as their other trades changed. I just dont see that being on our end. But as you said, who knows

First Orson Bean now this.  And on Joe Pesci's birthday...

 

What a day.

Nobody was pleased... the players union, the head of the MLBPA, a lot of people were angry.  rightfully so.

Fuck him

[Hubs]

Just checked the contracts and Dodgers are listed as just under $1 M over the $208 without Pederson, Stripling, and the money they sent Maeda.

Heyman is such an antagonistic little twat...  It's always funny watching him get pissy on mlb network when other hosts question his line of thinking.

Was Ross stripling really going to propel the 2020 angels to the playoffs ? Lol

[Docwaukee]

all I know is that the team isn't going to be as good in 2020 as I thought they would and that sucks.

This whole ordeal has been mentally exhausting

it certainly gave them a better chance.  as did adding Pederson.  

[Reveille1984]

Fitting that the Angels are the team that gets fucked out of all this nonsense

Well, some would say that doing that would be poor form...  So a story about the other team being upset and pulling out saves face for them.

LOL what a colossal waste of time and energy this thread was. Classic AW

Speak for yourself.  Thanks to this thread, I got graduate credit from Hofstra.

Wow this sucks. Stripling and Joc would have been really solid upgrades and the cost was minimal.

[Turd Ferguson]

Our trade was never about Pederson, it was about Striping. Not sure what changed other than Arte's feelings.

Dodgers still need to shed Joc.

 

 

[nando714]

My guess

Joc to Texas 

where he smashes 45 homers 

15 against the angels

Could very well have been a combination of the Dodgers wanting to tweak things after the reworked big deal and Arte’s frustration....we’ll see....

What was Striplings tweet? I looked for it but it had already been deleted.

It's a GIF of him fist pumping in celebration of the trade not happening

[angelinkc]

Maybe arte gets pissed enough to sign Mookie next winter. Trade Adell for some pitching.

Maybe but that seems worse to me. "Dodgers pull out of deal and tell media it was Arte who threw a tantrum" is gona create a lot more negative pushback than simply saying the deal didn't work for them anymore.
