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. 

 

They will package Gonsolin, Lux and catching prospect for Jose Ramirez then sign Bauer.

The Padres have added Snell, Darvish, Musgrove, and Clevinger this offseason. Consider.

Did I read that right?

The Padres just traded only half of Musgrove’s trade value to acquire him?

What options do halos have. Bauer wants to sign with a contender and Angels are not that. What's left?

They are if they sign Bauer, or at least close to it.

Suzuki > Snell, Darvish, Musgrove, and Clevinger.

Your logic game could use some work.

You gave him too much credit by even mentioning logic in the same vein with him.

Logic halos most pressing need has not been meant that's my logic. Kiss playoffs goodbye, Padres get 4 starters and we cannot get one how about that logic.

The trade is so lopsided that BTV won’t even let you post it on their boards

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.

I hope this happens but, until it does...keep dreaming. Also...honest to God...some of you really need to keep it down or you're going to wake Perry...

If Bauer does not sign another sub 500 season. Even with Bauer bullpen needs work, I'm pissed maybe if Ohtani can pitch we need an ace. Need ace and a number 2 if you really want to contend. We still have the prospects, Adell and Marsh be ready in 2 or 3 years. Cannot see why Minasian could not have put a package to get Musgrove. Then go sign Bauer and your rotation be set. With Musgrove contract could afford to spend higher for Bauer.

This is just silly... right now were potentially the 4th best team in the AL per Fangraphs projections.   

[UndertheHalo]

I’m pretty disappointed with this news.  What can you say I guess.  I’ve mostly believed that the angels primary route to getting pitching was through FA .  That remains true it seems.  As far as trade, I guess Jon Grey ? A few others.  Few realistic options as compelling as Musgrove.

Right now it would appear he's on the same trajectory as Cole. You know...we talk & talk all off-season about acquiring said player until he signs with someone else...

[gotbeer]

After all these years of getting fleeced.  It's good to see the Padres on the other side, and getting stacked.  And we should all be rooting for them to knock off the Dogs.

[UndertheHalo]

I don’t really know what the Angels are going to do.  It’s really starting to feel like other teams simply don’t value a lot of our farms assets in a way that makes trading possible.  That’s nothing new, but I had hoped that maybe the situation was getting better.  Apparently not.
