Cool. Another guy the Angels should be in on that they won't sign because.

I don’t really understand why Scherzer is the “right guy” at 40+ million a year but a Stroman is a no go.  I guess I’m too much of a retard to understand the deep nuances of this. 

[CanadianHalo]

Please just sell the fucking team Arte

I don’t really NEED this answer.  Just thinking out loud on what seems to make sense and what doesn’t seem to make sense.

You are correct, I'm told.

Teams can talk trades with each other, even though they can't talk to the players or complete any deals, which makes it sort of pointless, but it will give the GM's something to do.

At this point I’d be thrilled with adding Greinke and holding onto Marsh, Adell and Detmers.

Arte is the dumbass and stupidest owener in all of Baseball.

Same shit over and over again.

This would just be cruel at this point

Cishek just seemed worse than he was because he was overused (74 appearances) and the team was bad.

He has had a 2.18 ERA in 2018, 2.95 in 2019, 5.40 in limited 2020, and 3.42 with the Angels last year. He's a good reliever.

He had a career high in walks per 9 last year and his WHIP was too high. But he had a decent FIP. 

He suffered with a .304 BABIP, as opposed to two seasons in the .240's with the Cubs before the COVID season. 

He allowed 26/61 runners to score, but I think most of these were in the first half, and he was quite good in the second half.

He also had the 5th most appearances in baseball.

Essentially he and Mayers shared the 8th inning role last season, and with Loup/Warren/Etc., they get bumped down to 6th and 7th.

He's a veteran presence at a very affordable rate, and he and Mayers should be retained.

Thank you Jeff

Makes total sense at this point.

Yep. Sign him to play LF so they can trade Adell or Marsh I guess

 

[totdprods]

If Bryant is somehow added, it sure adds fuel to the fire of a potential deal for a SP. Walsh or an OF.

[UndertheHalo]

Alright.  Let’s fucking go Arte.  Honestly if he signs Bryant it’s just some kind of fucked up art form that he’s into.  Lmao
