Did not expect this.

[Stradling]

So I guess they are spending.

What an interesting move. High upside at 3/40 if he pitches like 2022 but that's a fairly big if.

Angels and awful free agent signing is becoming synonymous and the Angels are losing a 2nd round pick.

Really wanted to sign him last season but this looks like a case of one year too late. I hope there are actual numbers that can prove my hunch otherwise.

Shit

I do not dig a 6 man rotation with 5 lefties. or a 5 man with 4.

Trades are coming.

Eeesh.

TBH, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone like Suarez is being discussed in some trade scenarios for MIF/OF, with the Angels signing a righty to replace him.

Not super crazy about Anderson but the terms are not terrible. Unless he totally implodes - not impossible - that’s flexible enough to work around, to trade, to eventually jettison, or if he kicks ass, be great value.

Didn't want to sign Anderson, but I'm ok with $13 million and it's promising to see them throw this kind of money around.

1 yr wonder 

but 3/39 isn’t breaking the bank

Unless we take action to improve the offense, he will regress.  We could've re-signed Andrew Heaney for less.  

OFFENSE, PERRY, OFFENSE!

Was just going to say this. Initial reaction is meh (especially with losing the draft pick) but 13 million a year for anyone coming off the type of season Anderson just had is pretty great.

True on the latter, but a one year wonder age 33 in 2023

Incoming 4.75 ERA now that he's no longer on the Dodgers and is with the Angels

The AAV isn't terrible though, and this probably means the Angels end up moving one of their LHP in a trade I'd imagine? That's a lot of LHP in the rotation right now

I'm confused why he'd turn down the QO for this.

Which is sad because Suarez has better stuff and is just 25 next season.

I'm wondering if the Angels have interest in other players that have also declined their QO's. Meaning, maybe they intend on signing multiple players with a QO, Tyler just happens to be the first (not too exciting) one.

Because he’s going to be 33 and has never been good before last year.
