How is this a rumor

It’s a joke, it’s mentioned every time one of those three starts a game

He was good in May, had an OK June but has been lights out in July. 

8 appearances, 0 ER, 11 K's. 

Never know what you'll get with relievers. Hopefully the change of scenery leads to improvement. See it all the time with relievers changing teams and performing well elsewhere within the same season etc. Still think they gotta add another reliever to the mix

Lopez hasn't been very good this season so IDK how much of a boost he's gonna bring to the pen. Since it's clear they're fully committed to going for it, really hope Perry can work another trade for another RP prior to the deadline

The Sox have also been a dumpster fire all season. Change of scenery can do a guy good sometimes. The other side of the rental coin is that these guys are gonna be playing for their future paychecks too.

Hate this 

Everybody loved the Rendon trade when first announced. I will take a wait and see attitude. If we make the playoffs and are able to keep Ohtani, this might be the greatest trade in history or else not so much.

[PattyD22]

Can Giolito pitch Friday in Toronto?

[tdawg87]

I know it's a reach but this does send Ohtani the message that they're willing to do what it takes to win.

Rendon...trade?

 

[Stradling]

Could we see a Renfroe trade to clear money?

He might, would be four days rest.

[Blarg]

Can they pitch tomorrow?

In theory, yes.  Last start was Sunday, so Friday would be normal rest.

Gio will probably pitch in 3 days

He pitched Sunday so I’d imagine he’ll either pitch Saturday or Sunday in Toronto.

I love this deal. First, The Angels have loved Giolito for YEARS now and were going to be pursuing him in free agency regardless. This just gives them a better shot at acquiring his services beyond this season. 

And Reynaldo Lopez has always fascinated me since his transition to relief. As a starter, I never gave him a second thought because he sat 92-93 and was pedestrian. Upon moving to relief I saw him jump up to 97 and even hit 99. Usually guess might add a tick or two, he added FIVE! So I'm interested to see what he's capable of. 

And as for the price, getting Giolito AND Lopez and not having to give up a top 100 prospect (Quero is a fringe top 100 on most publications) actually isn't bad. And Ky Bush, I love what he's shown, and think he'll be a major leaguer. But losing that 97 velo he had in college had been quite discouraging. But I like the price. 

Well done, Perry.

I would be okay with that if Adell wasn’t hurt. But who plays right field?

Cabbage and they’d likely call up Adams until Trout is back.

I hate losing Quero for rentals. This could haunt us for a long time. 

They better make the playoffs.....

7 losing seasons has haunted me. If they are going for it and not trading Ohtani I'm all for it.

I agree

[Hubs]

They’ll have to clear two spots to activate them so one would think something else is getting done.

[Deek]

Didn’t the Angels just get the best SP (not named Ohtani) available at the trade deadline…

 

Perry pushing all in - let’s GO….!!!!

I think we will see a Rengifo trade and it wouldn’t suprise me if they get a pen arm for him.
