They should trade Goodwin and call up Marsh.

Solid get IMO.  Could turn into a solid bullpen piece.  All you ask for when you trade a player of Castro's caliber as a rental.

He's a pitcher, so yeah, he's a TJ candidate.

At least Barreto is not less likely a TJ candidate!

Return won’t be much....

Goodwin seems like a guy that’s actually pretty important for the Angels going forward.  Sometimes it seems like a lot of you forget that you need more than one player per position. 

[Stradling]

Hey @Angel you were talked to about this before.  Just stop. 

[T.G.]

In Calloway we  AO trust(s).

He'll get this kid where he needs to be like the rest of the staff.

This team sucks and he probably shouldn't be playing. They are better off seeing what Upton has left in the tank or testing Marsh. He still has value as a decent 4th OF but I don't think I'd describe him as pretty important.

To the Angels ? He’s been one of the better more consistent hitters for them for two seasons now.  He plays all 3 outfield positions. Even if he is a 4th outfielder and I mean he’s been more than that.  But even if you want to characterize him that way.  Good teams need players like Brian Goodwin.  The Angels have had great difficulty acquiring and producing players like him over the last decade.  Come on man.  The Angels have AB’s for Goodwin and Marsh.  If Upton comes around cool.  Goodwin can play less.  But it’s key to have him there. 
 

im not saying I’m completely against trading him or that he’s a critical bedrock player.  But he’s also not a guy they can just move without getting a decent return.

Package Goodwin and Bundy

Did Castro get caught off guard about trade and did he catch up with everybody before he left?

I'm curious how everyone would react if it was GRich coming back.

GRich is better off in SD. He'll be constantly injured if he comes here.

Sure.  What do you get back ? If the Angels intend to contend next season they’ll need to replace the production of both.  

[Angel]

This trade was actually incredibly nifty, this guy can be a great late inning guy if he can control his pitches.  We haven't had a reliable back end reliever/closer in how long?

[Make Angels Great Again]

Dude definitely looks like a thrower and not a pitcher just judging by that whip like delivery.

[Stradling]

Maybe the hold up on the trade is we would want one of the catchers that they will be sitting if they also get Nola.

[GrittyVeterans]

Good trade. As said many times already, the Angels are in a position where they just have to get the best player possible in return for some of these guys

[Angel Oracle]

Hoping he can develop like Robles did, but at least be a decent 7th inning guy.

I remember trading for a hard throwing Padre reliever some time in the past..........this sounds too familiar.

We got Heyman'd
