Angels acquire Dexter Fowler and cash from the Cardinals for a PTBNL or cash

I literally have no idea what they're doing.

Ehh I am not too mad about it depending on how much money we get in the trade.

I'm guessing we'll be on the hook for somewhere around 3-5mil.

Still, what is disappointing to me is for a few mil more, we could have had a MUCH better hitter in Pederson.  Pennywise, pound foolish, IMO.

Old Twitter takes.....

another guy who, when added to our projections, will actually make us worse.  

he's projected to have a -0.4 WAR

[Blarg]

Yeah, this is not a popular trade and for good reasons. 

[rafibomb]

@mmcgotta add that we are getting Dexter Fowler AND cash considerations to the title.

Maybe we are letting Maddon have too much influence in the player acquisition process . . . 

My thoughts exactly.  It's the Joe Maddon reunion tour, plus 3 guys from the Orioles... lol.

We are on the hook for 2.5 million

Okay that’s not bad. We better not be paying more then 2-3 million.

I'm seeing $16.5, not 14. Or maybe he's saying they're paying 14?

oh god Boob probably messed that tweet up too....

[Warfarin]

I thought Minasian started off the offseason pretty well.  The last two deals, though.. the Cobb one, I can sorta justify / understand, but this one is just a real head-scratcher.  I mean I'd honestly rather just roll with a very raw and not-ready Adell than play Dexter in RF.

[beatlesrule]

So there is no better FA for 2-3 million? It's worth it to trade a player and pay 2-3 for Fowler who, at this point in his career, is just going to take up space? The Angels have no players in their entire organization better than Fowler?

[Erstad Grit]

Why not just sign the more athletic Goodwin for 1-3 million? Even Puig. i'm not catching the vision. I was ecstatic about the two Iglesias and actually Rivera the rule 5 guy but since then I'm confused and massively disappointed.

Well, this is our platoon RF.  This seems like a really lackluster move.  I'm guessing the Cards are eating the vast majority of his salary.

Why not just sign Joc Pederson at 1/7?

Ask Artie

[ScottT]

The only way I like this is if Pujols is the PTBNL

[Vlad27Trout27]

lamo and we're probably sending back another top 10 prospect.

does Perry not Know he could have gotten Goodwin for around 1 mil? 

this guys is starting to look worst than Dipoto.

[Erstad Grit]

OMG WHAT IF IT'S FOR PUJOLS!!!!!!!

[beatlesrule]

Wait a tick, I thought Nightengale was not to be trusted? Perhaps he is once again wrong? He has to be......right??
