Love it. Rotation is what it is but at least they're building a deep pen for Maddon.

[rafibomb]

Damn this is awesome.

Iglesias, Loup, Bradley, Tepera, Mayers...that ain't bad at all.

Also, the Angels have finally spent on a bullpen (about $100m) for the first time in nearly half a decade, like many have been clamoring for. Will it work?

I believe this officially puts us as having 'upped payroll' too.

And the 40-man is getting very tight, very fast. A trade might have to be in the works just to clear some space.

This puts us over last year's payroll right?

$14M total for a guy who received an MVP vote? What a bargain!

[Revad]

Wow.  Now trade for a SS or SP and things would really be looking good.

[tdawg87]

Ok this bullpen might actually be pretty neat.

[bloodbrother]

That's right. 5 and half minutes of 2021 Ryan Tepera highlights

DeJong from St. Louis, or a partly salary-freeing deal from Oakland for Manaea/Montas and Andrus?

[Robrock30]

Bullpen looking solid maybe shutdown BP like in 2002.

[tdawg87]

So at worst maybe we can luck out like Seattle last year and win 90 games.

[tdawg87]

Get Story or Correa. Fuck it. I don't give a shit.

I'll take 90 wins at worst.

Might not be enough to make the playoffs.

Wow! Actually looks like the Angels are going to have a really good bullpen right now. I'm also seeing Mets fans on twitter getting pissed that Eppler is missing on a lot of relievers lol. Sounds like my life from 2016-2020 haha. Well done Perry! Now get maybe another starting pitching option or 2 to throw in the mix and things aren't looking too bad. It's just great to see the 7th and 8th innings get addressed today as the Angels as I said were at minimum 2 stud relievers short last season.

Arte's money?

I believe Arte just went over his "budget".

I think the Angels should get Ryan Tepera.  Of those pitchers the one that I think has the lowest risk is Yusei Kikuchi.  So I’m mildly interested in him.  Rodon is interesting as well but mega health risk.  Given the injury at the end of last season I have no interest in Kershaw.  The others, meh.  Maybe Duffy has some use as back end/spot starter. 

 

[aznhockeyguy]

I'm not a fan of this signing because of the AAV.  Otherwise solid.

[rafibomb]

Damn remember when we were nervous we signed Loup to be the closer and lone big bullpen move of the offseason?
