Too bad the Angels couldn't try to acquire Kelenic from the Mariners.  Sounds like they are ready to move him. 

Really? This team is not in buyer mode. They're not in seller mode either.

They are stuck.

Nah. As evidenced, we have zero outfield depth. Haniger will be back soon but can't depend on him. Kyle Lewis really can't play the field anymore. Julio has missed a good deal of time after the ASB and is on the IL again. Winker ... well he sucks. Dylan Moore also hit the IL. 

Adam Frazier was our center fielder today.

as I mentioned, you guys are a superstar OF bat away from being a legit contender.  Try to turn Gonzalez or Flexen into a nice player and roll with Ray, Castillo, Gilbert and Kirby.  Too bad White has crapped the bed.  Don't think they've got the prospect scratch for Soto, but that should be the call.   Not that I want the M's to do well, but they've put themselves in a pretty decent spot and I'm a bit jealous.

“According to sources, the Angels have not been impressed by the Padres’ offers for Shohei Ohtani. The same might be true for any other suitor of a two-way superstar who remains unlikely to move before the deadline.”

Also notes that the Padres have scouted Syndergaard, among other SP’s

Right.  Another team trying to convince the Angels they should part with Ohtani for fair value.  This is a good sign.  

I look at SD's roster and farm system and I actually don't see enough to satisfy me.

Cartaya, Dustin May, Michael Busch, Bobby Miller, Gavin Lux for Ohtani

One ML ready SS, and 4 top prospects.  That would be the deal. 

it's going to come out after the deadline that the dodgers offered this exact trade and we turned them down.

A lot to read. Nothing major Angels related other than

At this point, probably not even Preller knows. To some degree, he is exploring each of the above possibilities, according to major-league sources. He also has made a run at the Angels for Shohei Ohtani, not that anyone in the industry expects the two-way star to move.

The Angels are most definitely buyers.  They are just trying to buy something different than contending teams. They aren’t stuck.

I do too, but i'd have to wonder what the desperation looks like in San Diego if the Dodgers swoop in and get Soto. 
The Padres would need to make a big move of their own and that would be an Ohtani-type deal. 

Preller is known for being aggressive too. Maybe there's a "name your players" type move to get Ohtani and compete against the Dodgers.

I doubt the first part happens, but I would not be surprised at all if they pursue Judge.

There was already a report that Minasian tried to acquire him last year and Arte loves his big names. He seems to fit Arte's "type."

If Moreno signs Judge to a big contract, then in the baseball knowledge sense, he is a doofus and will never, eeever change.

Judge is 31 next season, and has played over 112 games just twice in the past 5 full seasons from 2016-2021.

Blockbuster #1 of the day!

MAN. I would've loved to get Wesneski. Kid's got a wipeout slider if I remember right. 

This is a seller's market and I'm having such a hard time thinking the most we'll do is trade Thor. Seems like a huge missed opportunity.

Seems like when Montas goes, Syndergaard may be one of the next to go.

The amount of talent changing hands this deadline could be nuts.

They gave up a top 10 prospect for a reliever

Great relievers with 5+ years of team control are hard to come by

Teams seem to be really open to shopping and trading young talent. 

I understand all the reasons for holding onto guys like Ward and Sandoval, but goodness, between them, Thor, maybe a reliever, the Angels could really fill out the upper minors and MLB roster with some good young talent. Spend right and maybe swing a big trade this winter and they could be back into it in 2023, especially if guys like Detmers keep stepping forward, and maybe one of Adell/Marsh wake up. It's a good deadline to be opportunistic.
