Cody Allen retired. 

Today? His arm retired 4 years ago.

Cody Allen retired absolutely no one when he was with the Angels.

Jesus, was that really in 2019?  Feels like forever ago.

Didn’t say trash. I said obscure. Nobody is expecting the brewers to sign big name FA

Fuck

LOL

[Angels 1961 507]

Again Oakland will have strong bullpen. Angels need someone.

[floplag 3,519]

A's get Moreland and Rosenthal in last 24 hours... in before projections now put us behind them. 

[Angels 1961 507]

Angels could not offer closer role

Well there's the A's new closer

[mmc 1,549]

 

[Erstad Grit 2,439]

Didn't see him coming here. His best opportunity for making money is continuing to close. 

Still hoping Odorizzi and Greene 

[Chuckster70 22,564]

I hate this offseason. Every guy we seemingly have wanted signed or was traded elsewhere. 

Let's hope the guys we already had and the players Minasian brought in is good enough.

I'm over the hot stove, here's hoping we see some positive news out of our guys in Spring Training. Cheers!

With Rosenthal off the board the only notable pitchers left are Odorizzi and Walker for starters and Shane Greene, Jeremy Jeffress, Tyler Clippard, and Brad Peacock for relievers.

Hopefully he'll pitch like he did in 2019 with the Nationals, hit FA and we sign him and he pitches like 2020 with the Padres. 

F the A's. 

I would look at signing Jeffress, Kennedy or Greene. 

[eligrba 5,295]

Fucking A's continue to quietly lurk in the background while strategically assembling another team from the ground up that makes the playoffs.  Meanwhile in Anaheim.......Albert is not finished playing......I understand Arte's reluctance to pay more taxes since he is already encumbered with Albert Fucking Pujols and his legendary Cardinal stats.

I thought Rosenthal would have been the perfect signing to get the Angels to the playoffs.

Most to those we are directly competing with for playoff spots i might add.
A's in last week added three good bullpen pieces for example.

Normally, I'd be disappointed in not getting Rosenthal, but 11 million is a pretty steep price to pay for a reliever.
