Is Kimbrel holding everything up?

Including his right elbow?

We can package the Two Iglesiases as a two-way player.

That could be a problem....if 2/3 teams are in on him and Perry is waiting, might be a potential problem.....hope  not....

I do as well. Yesterday I was thinking Heaney only, but I think someone is going to make Minasian an offer he can't refuse, which I think is a 50-55 FV prospect.

Very doubtful. Relievers aren't commanding much in return this deadline, so far.

People here need to calm down. This deadline will likely be similar to EVERY YEAR before it. The Angels have been injured. They are playing .500 baseball. They have guys hopefully coming back soon that will improve the ballclub. They have an owner that does not believe in selling no matter what the circumstances are. Regardless that there are better teams in front of them in the standings that improved with trades, the Angels will most likely once again stand pat or make a minor trade. Those expecting a big buy or sell are going to be disappointed. I have no idea why many here believe Arte is all of a sudden going to change the way he does things. Like some others here have stated, getting back Trout and Rendon are 2 big bats. If the bullpen continues to struggle, the Angels will bring up some minor leaguers and hope they do well. Hopefully Walsh comes back healthy. The Angels will go with the team they have and the players they have in the minors like they pretty much do every year. I follow the deadline to see what the other teams are gonna do. If the Angels do anything, it's just a bonus. I suggest you do the same for your sanity.

And the Angels will end up within 5 games of .500 either way--and be on the outside looking in at the playoffs...again...

Seems like it though, amazed they are going to continue to run out there the 1899 Cleveland Spiders bullpen (aside from Iglesias).

Just dumbfounded by it

you can't complain about how lousy our players are, and then simultaneously complain about how our GM isn't trading any of them. 

no one wants our players.

inspite of this, you know he's been on the phone as much as anyone else in the last 48 hours. 

[Angelsjunky]
