Fielder for Kinsler; Cano to Rangers now?

[Stradling]

If they sign Cano and trade Profar for Miller then this will not be a good start to the offseason. To even catch up with the Rangers we would need to win the bid on Tanaka, sign Garza, Smith, Chavez and the Beard. Then trade Trumbo for Headley. Add to that we need Albert and Josh to return to being difference makers. Then we can compete with that team, perhaps.

[nikkachez]

Cano would actually be good for them but later turn into a crappy contract, can't decide if I'd want them to do it or not. 

[VariousCrap]

No way they sign Cano.

 

If anything, their next move will be for a catcher.

Hasn't a philospohy like 'trying to catch up' got us into a world of sh*t before? Reacting to what other teams do should never be a way to operate.

[Brent Maguire]

They traded Kinsler to open up the door for Profar, not to sign Cano and trade Profar. Profar has the potential to be a 4-5 win player and is going to be super cheap for a while.

To answer your question though, I can see them signing a guy like Granderson and I can definitely see McCann going there.

[nate]

I am pretty sure AJ is a FA.

[RallyMo]

I have no idea what happens between now and the end of their 2014 season, but precedent indicates that an epic choke will be their last move.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Their next move is to drop a 20 game lead on the halos by the ASB.

Oz, forget that this is a thread about what the Rangers just did and say it's a off season in review. Would you be happy with those moves if they Angels made them?

[Vegas Halo Fan]

No way they sign Cano.

I'm figuring that they sign Brian McCann.

[notherhalo]

I just waned to use that old sick lineups image

Would I be happy if the Angels traded a .290 OBP hitter for one of the better third basemen in the league? Yeah, naturally. But needless to say, it's not going to happen. As for the rest, it all depends on the terms. Last year I wanted Greinke, I didn't want him for $130 million. I think Garza is going to end up getting crazy money that'll make him completely not worth it, for example.

[Mark68]

Their next move is to the Philippines to become the Manila Folders.

Freese for Bourjos. Your move Rangers.
