Adell out...Turner out...I'll let my brain run wild with theories...

Are we going to wait until 10 minutes before the deadline on Friday to get a 30-year-old reliever with a 4.8 career ERA who's bounced around several teams and that nobody's ever heard of?

 

 

Yeah, I thought so.

i would 100% deal cobb, heaney, and r. iglesias. get the prospect return while you can, then promote from within and move watson and shitshack to the bottom of the bullpen if you can't trade them for anything.

as others have said, the angels should be in buy and sell mode. we'll see if they squander the opportunity as per prior leadership.

I challenge Dipoto to trade Julio Rodriguez, Noelvi Marte, and George Kirby

For Raisel Iglesias to replace Graveman.

I don't get it. Trade Graveman for a backup at 3B? What is the second move here?

All of them except one, at least. I hope.

Brad Hand is apparently leaving the bullpen and saying goodbye to teammates

Obviously he's spreading covid.

Has really struggled lately.

Past 2.2 innings (3 outings): 7 runs 4 hits, 3 BBs, 1 HBP, 1 K

Two blown saves and a loss

I'm not talking shit about Dipoto until the Angels demonstrate that they can beat them.  He has built a better team with all of his tinkering than Eppler/Minasian have with the Angels.  And it pisses me off to no end to look at Servais and watch his team beat the Angels..continuously.

Any chance that the Angels end up swinging a major deal for a starting pitcher who is controllable beyond this year?  A German Marquez or someone like that?

Rockies won't trade Marquez, but to your bigger-picture question, I can see them trying something like that, yes. And they have the outfield talent to use a Jo Adell or Brandon Marsh as a pretty interesting centerpiece. (Doesn't have to be one of them, just using them as an example)

 

Nice work, @Chuckster70!

I'm assuming Seager is gone in a package ... but I have no fucking clue.

Dipoto has actually done well letting the Mariners develop and building up the farm and staying patient during this rebuild. Would be a shame if he sold it all now when the team is a bunch of smoke and mirrors this season

Here's hoping it happens!

Jerry Dipoto is basically me on MLB the Show. 

[rageous]

Couldn't the Angels trade for Graveman?

They could have matched what the Astros gave up for him.

Meanwhile we have Quintana and Cishek pitching in the 8th inning of a close game.

[angelsnationtalk]

Angels currently losing 9-0 after 4 innings. 

Can Minasian go into sell mode now?????
