Well I was going to offer some but if you've made it, I'll hold onto my money until it's needed next time!

We still need some cash for the "rosin bag" fund.

We've found the guy who always signs up for "napkins" when they post the pot luck list for the work Christmas party, guys.

I’m hoping 3 Porsche dude will help out.  Laura Diaz, probably won’t.

If you want stability behind the plate then hold onto Stassi.  He and Contreras are both free agents in 2023.  Giving up Marsh or whatever to get him when you have Stassi and you have other needs isn’t the way I would use my prospect capital.  Sure we need stability behind the plate, but that stability could have started two years ago with Stassi and continue for two more years instead of starting this year and continuing through next year.  Maddon is only signed through next year and is one of the oldest managers in the game, so we don’t really know if Contreras would stick around.  Now if we were to get Contreras, now you are going to have to pay him, and quite frankly we need to spend that money on pitching.  

Stassi is also better behind the plate.

Yes.

It's time to take up a collection.

Chuck is good for at least a mil.  He's got half of that in the cushions of the couch that everyone keeps crapping on. Strad is good for $500K once he sells all of his baseball cards. Taylor is good for about a buck because he wants to give everything away for free, but has no idea how to pay for it all - plus he's spending all his money trying to figure out to keep the hair on his head.  tdawg is good for $300K once he sells his porn collection.  If only angelsjunky was paid by the number of words he posts on this site, he'd be able to throw in quite a bit - but is good for about $20 right now. slappyutility guy had us all fooled, he's really an ex-big leaguer with a huge pension and millions in the bank - and he'll throw in $750K. Lou... well, Lou is a maybe - even though he has millions tucked away because he never goes anywhere or does anything other than watch TV.

How much have we raised so far?

What about Ed McMahon?   I made good money doing those Publishers Clearinghouse infomercials for years.

Although the Angels aren't out, they'd need to move some move around first. 

This guy knows just as much as Maria, and I value his info just as much i.e. not at all. He said before that we're "still in", now we need to free up money. He's just giving himself an excuse if and when the Angels don't sign Bauer. "They were in it but couldn't free up enough space for Arte to pull the trigger". 

It's all a bunch of crap. Twitter is so stupid.

My MO is if you say stupid shit, like claiming some of us are sexist, then I will call you out for your stupid shit.  If you resemble that then we have probably had a run in.

YOU made good money?  I'm going to send you a PM about a business opportunity.

I agree, nobody here was being sexist about Torres, but you should consider taking up meditation....you’re going to give yourself an ulcer

Suck it @mmc

I think he could have done well in RF for the Angels. Especially for Pujols’ last year since it seems the Pedersons and Pujols were close.

Haha no you’re good bro (unless you’re being sarcastic right now), I’ve just noticed you’ve been extra hostile lately.

Its on the secret menu, when you get Strad extra saucy.

Cards / Rocks Arrenado talks may be an avenue (*3 team) to shed a large contract and get a less expensive one in return with a usable roster piece . If you believe the Twitter guy and his sources.

My prediction of Bauer signing today with the Angels for 3/112m is not looking great.

We still have a few hours.

Yea, everyone has their own sources. He is involved with baseball on a way Maria is. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what the media says. What matters is the end result. 

Tomorrow if Bauer were to sign with the Angels she can suddenly just say "Angels changed their minds" and she'd be excused from her story.
