Call me crazy, but I’d actually prioritize upper-level prospects to help address MIF, OF, or C over pitching.

if they did go that route, some options:

40 FV: Otto Lopez, James Outman, Ryan Noda, Edouard Julien,

35+ FV: Tanner Morris, Moisés Gomez

There’s also the chance you get the best return possible with the intent to flip that player in the off-season. Regardless of position.

Turn the page on his Angel career. That’s a wrap.

The report on the Phillies is interesting. Syndergaard is definitely a guy that can start Game 3 or Game 4. In that sense, he’s more valuable than Heaney was. If 4-5 teams see it that way, I think the return could be a bit more valuable than originally thought. 

Also these leaks are coming from front offices to try and control the price. I am sure Stark and Dombrowski go way back. Doesn’t mean the return will be less.

There's one reason why I could see Syndergaard going to the Phillies and one reason why I can't see Syndergaard going to the Phillies:

The reason why: Since the Phillies have already gone over the luxury tax for this season and they aren't interested in trading away their top prospects, it sounds like they may try and take on more salary and pay less in prospects rather than have the team eat more salary while the Phillies pay more in prospects.

The reason why not: Syndergaard's a groundball pitcher who has struggled to get K's this season, and that could be a dangerous combination with the Phillies horrible infield defense.

I'd be surprised if the Angels got more than a 45, maybe 45+ FV prospect. Or two 40 FV prospects. If Minasian can get a 50 FV guy it will be a coup.
