I am guessing the trade for Joc and Stripling happens

In most cases I'd disagree but after all that's happened these past few days I also wouldn't be surprised if this happened

Think about it like this, the Dodgers are currently at 42 on their 40 man roster and need to get down to 40 before they announce the Betts deal as official.

In the grief cycle,  you're still in the denial phase.  I am too.

Maybe so.  The Dodgers have to find a home for at least one of their players today or tomorrow.  

[Make Angels Great Again]

Tomorrow we'll find a way to get an agreement in place for Glasnow without giving up Adell or Marsh then he'll get arrested for murder on his way here or something.

It's really not a fair poll, the second option makes me laugh so hard I want to click it involuntarily.

It shows that Eppler is actively looking and making phone calls 

so I voted , yes 

[T.G.]

The only thing I believe is that Eppler will continue to try and make the team better without damaging the future of the team. I won't be surprised if something happens and I won't be surprised if nothing does.  My guess is he'll do something, but I don't know if it will be significant in the eyes of AW.

I think the Halos are done with any major roster changes

Not if Arte can help it

In all seriousness, Eppler has made it clear he is only going to make trades for pitching that he feels he’s getting a bargain.  This scenario was unique because the Dodgers were looking to move players off their tax threshold, which allowed us to get Stripling at a reduced cost.  Considering all of the other teams trading starters are rightfully asking for a premium, which Eppler will NOT pay, and I don’t foresee another scenario coming up like the Dodgers trying to get under the tax threshold, I think it’s safe to say Eppler will not be making any other pitching acquisition this offseason that will excite anyone

I bet the Angels agree on a deal to land Clevinger for Taylor Ward but Arte kills the deal.

[eligrba4ever]

Canceling the Peterson/Stripling-for Rengifo/et al deal was a big move.

Reviving it would be a bigger deal, but that won't happen.

[eligrba4ever]

Oh, and Billy just acquired Quijada and DFA'd Markel. Who? And Who?

The moves just keep on coming.
