Angels remain over luxury tax, but Minasian says it will not impact 2024 spending

That’s too bad.

Ain't no conversation because Arte will probably fire Perry.  SMH

It would actually be a very Angels thing to make all these moves and then still be over by like $150K.

Play under review maybe?

A couple take aways from Peet's statement

1.  Perry and Nevin will both be back

2.  The Angels aren't getting into a bidding war for Ohtani.  They'll make a take or leave it offer and it won't be budget breaking

no.

Perry knows better than Jon Becker whether the Angels are over the luxury tax.

So they are over the luxury tax.

How'd you get that takeaway?

Day dreaming?

I'm struggling to understand why the Angels opted to put Stassi on the IL instead of the restricted list, thereby making them pay him the full $7M this year instead of getting out from paying him.

Is it just out of the kindness of their hearts?

It seems odd that they'd do that, considering how cut-throat Arte was in slashing people's salaries and minor leaguers during the pandemic.

I did not see Perry comments.  Oooooooops

[Angels in 2030]

Good God the ineptitude of this organization knows no boundaries.  

[Angel Oracle]

This is a VERY dysfunctional franchise!

F U Grichuk for sucking here!

They waived anyone who was expiring with a price tag that would've mattered, if not enough players got claimed for them to be under, nothing they could do about it

I told you in another thread, but post your tweet, change the "x" before the .com to twitter, and then re copy and paste

If the Angels had put Stassi on the restricted list, Arte would come off looking even worse.

Arte is destroying our Halos right before our eyes. This pos needs to go and MLB needs to step in . Ohtani is good As gone .

I meant at the start of the season.

I don't think Arte would look bad for putting a guy on the restricted list for family reasons.

Isn't that just normal procedure for when players are away from the team for personal reasons?

You are allowed to do that. I think it depends what the "personal reasons" are, as far as how a team would handle it and how it would be perceived.

If Stassi didn’t have the hip issue, wouldn’t they have had to do that?

Unless they made up the hip issue so they could place him on the IL

[Angelsjunky]

LOL, they couldn't even do this right. 

[Lhalo]

1. Farm ranked 28th in MLB (BR)
2. Out of playoff contention
3. Over the luxury tax 

Three strikes. Time to GTFO Moreno.

That's true. But he did have a hip issue.

It's a weird situation, but the further they got into I think it made it kind of tough for the Angels to do anything different.
