Take Bauer off the Mets' list now. 

Bauer favorites now are Blue Jays, Angels, White Sox.

And the reason they can do this is because they didn't shoot their wad before they were ready.  They kept building and building and building.   Fourteen years between playoff appearances, ten years between .500 seasons.

Lucchesi is going to the Mets so as of right now the Pirates are getting a value of 7.4 for Musgrove.

They also didnt have a Mike Trout.
You are correct, of course, but we can not afford to wait any longer.
We will either be the team that made the largest mistake in mlb history for not trading him, or the team that wasted him... We must win, or thats our legacy.
If they were not prepared to do whatever it took money wise, they should have traded him instead of extending him. 
Now, the time is now, the window is now... no more excuses.

The Mets have a endless amount of money 

I’m convinced the angels are done this off season. 
 

If not they’ll be bargain hunting

This might also raise the price on Gray as well, thus taking the Angels out on any trade talks. 

Spend the money, sign Bauer, look to upgrade whatever is needed come trade deadline, roll into the postseason.

seriesly do some research.

They have buehler, Kershaw, Urias, May, Gonsolin plus more.

You could say that all five of these guys can match bauer production without paying the price tag.

Halos need to send someone to see Sanchez and Teheran workout now.

The simple reality is this, as much as we would like to make a trade for the SP we need, we dont have the parts to get the guys we want without killing the farm.
Arte is going to have to write the checks, not sign off on trades.

I think the Musgrove trade can be a BIG positive for the Angels. Yes, I thought they were done and likely were heavy after Musgrove, but I think this lights a little fire under Arte's ass again. 

Last year for example, we lost out on Cole and the Angels immediately flipped and went to Rendon. Was it a pitcher? No, but it was still a position we needed to fill. 

The Angels (by firing Eppler, having internal talks with Trout, etc, and saying payroll isn't going down) has given me thought that the Angels have publicly announced they need pitching help and know they need to win now. 

Arte doesn't want to show up empty handed. Let's say the Angels were in talks for Musgrove, Darvish and maybe even Snell. We've struck out on everything so far. 

One piece we haven't missed? Bauer. If it's a bidding war for a pitcher I doubt Arte will let it slide again. He's made it clear we need pitching, payroll won't go down and things need to change. 

Angels are in on Bauer. And now that Musgrove is gone, I don't think the Angels are going to let him get away. 

I went from thinking we're going to get a Quintana or Happ.... but now I firmly believe it will be Bauer to Anaheim, and I think it happens this week.
