My fear is that they aren’t because of the rumor that Ohtani doesn’t want to play with another Japanese player.

Heyman reported a couple months ago that they weren’t in on Yamamoto and were focusing solely on Ohtani, which would line up with that.

If this is the case, it's time to let Ohtani go. I would rather spend $200 million on Yamamoto and spread the rest of the savings on the bullpen and other needs than spend $400-$500 million on Ohtani.

It's a math problem. The Angels have multiple holes that will require expenditures to fix. Ohtani will not fill all of those holes.

My baseline BS radar detector goes off pretty hard when I read speculation that Ohtani “doesn’t want to play with another Japanese player.”

It just doesn’t pass the smell test.  It would take a real, clear quote from him for me to believe that.

We have too many Lefties in the rotation that currently have nearly the same repertoire, arm slot (Detmers, Sandavol and Suarez)... 

I'd rather go after Stroman and Montgomery ...

Rotation: Stroman, Montgomery, Silseth, Detmers, Canning. (TRADE Sandavol & Anderson Move Suarez to the pen).

Pen additions: Hader, Hicks, Moore/W. Smith...

CL - Hader

Setup - Estevez & Hicks Moore/Smith

Soriano, Joyce, Bachman, Kolonic, Hergert, Wantz, Saurez among others on the Jet from AAA or AA...

We would have roughly 25-30-35M for the lineup through FA or incoming traded contracts.

*** IF the 106M under the Tax Cap is true.*** I read in another thread here.

As a 23 year old coming over… it was reported that He didn’t want to go to a team where another Japanese player had been a success… Yankees (Matsui) Mariners (Ichiro) or Dodgers (Nomo) or who had a big time Japanese player currently playing. Now he is the big dog or top dog and the Japanese guys coming over May say the same thing or may want to play with Ohtani.

If we can sign Snell, then it is possible that we could use one of Canning or Sandoval in a Burnes trade, IMO.  

I wouldn't be against getting Yelich if one of Ward, Moniak, or Adell is moved. 

respectfully, i'd tell you that this is a complete pipe dream for an angels fan. milwaukee has no compelling reason to make a trade like either of those.

however, if the brewers were somehow willing to make a move like this, the angels should jump all over it.

[Duren, Duren]

Snell would immediately become the ace, with or without Ohtani in 2024. Flaws and all, including likely contract. 

Beyond 2024? The roster, including promotions, trades and signings will likely look fairly different. So hard to project too far ahead. But if Snell can play more or less as he has then it stabilizes the rotation, allowing for more versatility and buys time. 

Maybe Detmers has a breakout season with less pressure. And Sandoval and Canning continue progressing. A solid top three or four would be a good foundation and allow for multiple other moves and uses.

The Angels need many more good players. Blake Snell is a very good player - but will prevent the Angels from getting other good players. 

I don't think he'll prevent us from getting other good players.

Report I just read. SNELL was at Seahawks Thanksgiving Day Game and wants to pitch for his home town team....The Mariners.. 

[Second Base]

Hot take: Every baseball team in the world is interested in Blake Snell.

He does, but the Mariners don’t seem interested in spending much money.

Blarg just wanted everyone to know that's he rich enough to buy an SLK, and this was his way of doing it.

I could buy a Ferari Modena but chose the SLK. Get the brag right.

sign Ohtani. Add Snell

That would be great, except Ohtani seems like a long shot, and Snell really wants to pitch for Seattle.

Tell the whole truth here.  
Angels are one of four teams reported to be in the running. Mariners aren’t interested in Snell.

What did l say that wasn't true? The Angels odds at signing Ohtani are +1500 the last l heard and Snell very publicly stated he wants to pitch in Seattle. Whether or not Seattle wants Snell is neither here nor there in regards to my previous post. Don't misunderstand me l would love them both here in 2024, l just don't see it happening.

And nothing I said was untrue. You can call it +1500 I see it as 1/4.  If you read deeper into Snell wanting to pitch for Seattle you will read they weren’t interested. So it doesn’t matter.

You said let's be honest as if l was lying.

Just because they're are 4 horses in a race doesn't necessarily mean they each have a 1-4 chance to win. I mean one horse could be Secretariat and another the old gray mare...

[Blarg]

This is going to be a laugh when Snell goes somewhere like Toronto that is off everyone's radar.

I lost a lot of money betting on gray horses. That was before I heard the song the Old Grey Mare.

Let me know when one of those dot.coms sells parking at the stadium because as has been argued here, that's where the real costs are.
