Not sure why everyone is pissed at Chicken Strip.  He's on a team that went to the World Series twice in three years.  If you were about to be relocated and you find out that maybe you weren't, wouldn't you celebrate?

Well, yes. Going from the Dodgers to the Angels is a massive downgrade, not gonna lie.

This is very true. It’s like going from  Morton’s Steakhouse to Chili’s

Maybe they told him he still may be going

Per the reading its possible we were the ones that pulled out, but no one is saying why so its kinda meaningless.
There is no way we would pull out of the original deal so its obvious the original deal wasnt what was on the table anymore and the Dodgers likely came back asking for more or wanted to change the prospects i would think.

One thing I have noticed over the years is that if Arte feels he has been screwed over in a deal, he lets others know. I think there is a real possibility that Arte did get screwed over in this whole thing and he is upset, possibly rightfully so. As @Inside Pitch said we won't know what happens (maybe never) until the dust settles. The fact that they are the other Los Angeles franchise will not help relations, possibly.

Awww you're an optimist!

If indeed this deal has fallen apart my guess is this is what happened.

The Dodgers ended up giving up more than they were going to in the original deal, so they asked the Angels to alter the deal, and they refused to give up more.

Oh yeah.... He will flat out comment if it was him.   He did with Tex, he did with GMJ, he did with Hamilton.  

[Stradling]

Also anyone wanna give me odds that this deal actually happens in a pretty similar way as it was originally presented?  I would not be surprised at all if tomorrow rolls around and we have Stripling and Joc and the Dodgers have Rengifo and others.

Actually don't know who to be pissed at right now.  In principal, the deal seemed to be a solid one for the Angels and their chances in 2020.  The fact that they're not as good is why I'm most annoyed.  The details as to why, if they ever come out, aren't as important.

Yeah, pretty likely...

Dodgers-Red Sox terms change...so do Angels-Dodgers terms, likely less favorable for the Angels.

I'll sure it will leak at some point.

I knew this had fucked vibes from the beginning.  I’m glad it’s done with.

I should have cleaned out my garage like many of you did.

At least I didn't go to any musicals though.

depends on why it fell apart in the first place.

This is honestly infuriating. Lol god damn. I just want to act like a little bitch and throw a tantrum... waaaa!!!!!.. the angels just aren’t that good a good franchise. So good things don’t tend to happen as much as I would like. But god damn. This sucks...

Not unreasonable....but what was “more”? Marsh? I get that, screw them...but if it wasn’t a premium prospect and Arte balked out of “principal”, then screw Arte....it wasn’t the Dodgers who scuttled the original deal...it was the Sox....

i guess we’ll find out at some point....

Lol AW isn’t done with it.  The Angels probably are though.

Well the Dodgers ended up giving up Jeter when they weren’t going to originally so it wouldn’t surprise me if they asked for something similarly.

This deal could’ve been the difference between making the postseason and missing the postseason. All the Angels had to do was give up Rengifo (who is very much redundant).

Hopefully Eppler has something else up his sleeve...

Now we will never know if we would have had to give up two of our #3-#10 prospects....

 

[Inside Pitch]

The bright side....

Just another reason for the Angels/Dodgers animus....

Just go 4-0 .vs them again..
