This guy has broken some signings and trades on Twitter. He seems to be connected more to certain teams than others.

They predict Verlander to the Cubs for 2 years, $80M and Tyler Anderson to the Angels for 4 years, $60M. I would say there is zero chance either of those deals are even discussed, let alone executed.

Ok, maybe I'm wrong... but Anderson feels like fool's gold. I'd still prefer to stay away.

Especially since he'll probably require giving up a draft pick (which is ok with me for some players, but not a player that doesn't fill our biggest hole)

Age 35 next season, double NO

As great as he’s been, could be fools gold due to pitching just 156 innings the past two seasons.   Also turns 35 next season.

Agreed, turns 33 next season with ONE good season (2022), and his low GB/FB ratio and low Ks count (just under 7 per 9 innings) cry out fluke season.

No chance the Halos sign 40 year-old Verlander for $40 million for each of 2023 and 2024.

Why not?  Most people here have already made their feelings about Matt Wise known.  Who would you rather mentor our young pitchers?  Verlander could show our younger guys not only how to win, but also how to pitch deeper into games.

I mean...they signed Pujols at age 45 to a 10-year contract.

I think signing someone like Verlander should actually make more sense for the Angels, specifically because he will likely get a short 1 or 2yr deal. I say "should" because it will largely depend on if the rumors of Perry's "zero limitations" are true or not and how much Arte will green light.

A 2/80 or 1/40 fits the Angels situation in that they're able to add an Ace, all while not having to commit long term and risk another albatross contact when the player regresses. Also makes sense with the sale situation, Verlander raises the value of the team from a marketing and talent viewpoint, while also allowing the long term flexability to remain intact for a new potential owner. Plus Kate Upton.

Kershaw would be another guy that makes sense if he had any desire to leave LAD, and I'm still particularly fond of the idea of the Angels adding Conforto on a short term deal too

The stove is HOT, HOT with halo rumors today. Verlander, Swanson, Anderson and whatever Rays are getting rid of. Sign all of them Arte you will not have to pay them, go out with a BANG.

Rotation of Verlander, Kershaw and Ohtani let's do it Arte.
