Not one big name wants to be associated with the worst ran franchise in baseball until arte sells

Agreed. If they have a strategy, it makes little sense. I guess, "trade all the relievers we signed at the deadline if we're out of it" could be considered a strategy, so maybe there's that? Lol.

pretty sad the halos woudn't pay snell 2/62 million...sucks ! worst offseason ever...

[AngelStew43]

Montgomery, JD, and Clevenger all on one year deals, possibly for less than Snell alone.

[m0nkey]

Thank you, giants!

[Dtwncbad]

Let the 20 pages of Montgomery talk begin.

There's an opt out after this season. That would have been a bad move

[rafibomb]

Didn’t want Snell on that type of deal and the fact that it’s the Giants and not the Yanks or Astros makes it even better.

[No Roles]

angels have no quality starters (not that we have in decades except ohtani) it's gonna be a long long long year...canning our ace? lmao we are a bad team !

I would prefer him to Snell but unless he changes his mind on location that isn’t happening.

Except that isn’t the contract.

At this point Montgomery might as well wait until after opening day to sign to avoid having a draft pick loss attached to him next year (in case he signs a one year deal or gets an opt out).

It’s after the draft in July.

well it is if he doesn't opt out...I know he has signing bonuses too ! I doubt the market will be much hotter for him next year?

Montgomery doesn’t have a draft pick attached to him.

Snell will be signed by the Angels or Astros by the end of the weekend. 

Your contact misled you I guess. Seems like we were never really interested after all.

If he loosens up on location and lowers his contract demands, I’m not sure we’d be very high on his list. Without draft pick compensation and with a more reasonable contract structure, he’ll get a lot of interest.

[UndertheHalo]

Ah well.  It’s genuinely baffling what the Angels are doing.  Won’t trade to get prospects.  Won’t sign anyone, even relatively low risk short term commitments.  Still spending 170 million.  Just completely rudderless.  Not signing Snell on its own isn’t a big deal.  There’s plenty to not care for about his game.  It’s just the total non commitment to anything.  
 

Artes main achievement as the owner of the club is establishing being incomprehensible and incompetent as the teams most noteworthy brand. Jesus.

Well there you go.

Personally I think this makes sense for the Giants. Snell......should have taken the Yankees deal.

Monty or Lorenzen + JD I think still makes sense for us.

It's a wait and see year for Angels. What can young pitchers and young position players do. It will be fun watching them play and develop.

Giants have done a really nice job in adding to their team.

Strad was confidently wrong once again.
