The Official Los Angeles Angels 2023-2024 Hot Stove Offseason Thread

[Ochocinco!]

Dodgers just fucking with everyone now. They might as well sign Hader as the ultimate middle finger to the rest of the league 

[nando714]

The first effect of Ohtani backloading to help the club imo 

[Second Base]

Can the Angels defer Plesac's money so that he gets a single dollar every year for the next million years? 

Doing it Dodgers style. 

[Stradling]

What a bad contract. He struck out 211 times last year.  He had a 106 OPS+ this year. Jesus Taylor Ward could fetch us a shit ton. 

[Angels 1961]

Only 15 mill this year rest is deferred. They now have money for Hader plus for ever else they want.

Maybe it is time to trade some assets.

Don’t give him ideas because you’re absolutely right. 

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

I hope the dodgers keep signing players until owners get pissed.  
 

I know a lot of you sad sacks “wish Shohei well,” but his deal to defer that dough is really making the sport lopsided.  
 

fuck that guy, the dodgers, and everyone on that team.  

oh and their POS fans too.  Oralé

[Stradling]

I’m just pissed the Dodgers didn’t give him 4 years of a bad contract.

It's the Dodgers. He'll be comeback player of the year and finish sixth in MVP voting.

It’ll end up being a pissing contest between LA and the Mets moving forward.

Yes please 

[AngelStew43]

It’s a massive overpay, IMO.  His numbers dropped when he went to Seattle, likely they’ll drop a little more in LA.  I’m also glad that they’re paying for all the K’s, and not the Angels.

Why the rush to trade Rengifo? He has improved last 2 years. Can play all of INF and OF positions. This is type of player halos should sign too an extension. Bieber is one year rental just sign a FA pitcher to a deal. Like most teams Clevland would have zero interest in Anderson.

Gotta give to get. Getting rid of Anderson contract is more money for other players. Rengifo is a bad defender and very streaky. He has value cuz he hits.

Except you’re not getting anything of value in your proposed deal

Cleveland would not want Anderson and who replaces Rengifo?

[AngelsFaninGA]

[Stradling]

If the Angels gave $23.5 million to Teoscar even I would admit the Angels had to overpay to get him.

That's also why it may not be a disaster.  His neutral park numbers in 2023 were right in line with what he had put up the previous three years.  Playing in Seattle hurt him more than playing in the park in Toronto helped him.

But the Ks are a legit issue.

That’s the AW way for some.
