The 10 mil they won't be paying Miley covers Gray's salary this year.   

True, but they also had Castellanos opt out yesterday, and they still cut him, so...

49 hours to go on QO being given to Iglesias, what’s the holdup Arte?

Maybe they’re at Del Taco finishing up the 3 year $51M extension.

In your opinion do you think you the Angels tried to trade for Miley before waivers?

Would he be a good candidate for our staff?

Appreciate your input

I would not call Suarez a good starter nor Canning a good young talent.  I don't see this team making the playoffs unless we aquire 2 good SP

Then you didn’t watch Suarez this year.

Had a little bit of a rebirth, but still a no brainer.   Is not worth $22 million a season anymore.

The owners can go pound sand.

They didn’t have a gun held to their head to pay the players.

Appreciate the kind words.

I said in a different post I have no idea what to expect this winter, I genuinely mean it.  We have a GM that is still working to establish himself and there is potentially a lock out looming which only adds to the uncertainty.  

Miley had a really good season last year  but he's pitched more like a guy wth a 4.5 ERA the last 5 years and I think it's possible the Angels may be thinking they already have a few of those in house and potentially could get more for the 10 mil a year.  On the surface it looks like something they should have been in on, particularly if you believe the team would be better off spreading their money around at multiple spots which I do.

When push comes to shove Miley is a nice mid range SP but likely a bad fit given the existence of Detmers, Sandoval, Suarez,all of them LHPs.  Throw in the weak K rate and reliance on defense... he's not really the type of pitcher they are likely targetting (or that makes sense).  Definitely not the type of arm Maddon likely wants.

That said, the Cubs are likely happy to have added a guy who is a solid bet for Johnny Cueto level production for what amounts to Jose Quintana money.  Still, at that price I'd probably prefer the 2021 version of Cobb.

maybe I'm misremembering but it seems the halos like to hit their expensive targets first and then see what's left.

They need to miss on some targets first.

28 hours to go, Arte, where’s Iglesias’ QO?

If Kimbrel is worth $16 million to the ChiSox, then Iglesias is worth $18.7 million to the Halos.
