Lucas Giolito to Baltimore for a top ten Orioles prospect and a prospect within their top 20-30 range

Ohtani and Herget to Atlanta Travis D’Arnaud, AJ Smith Shawver, Victor Vodnik and Luke Wadell to Angels In this scenario, the Angels get back a very solid veteran player (D’Arnaud) who can catch/DH and play some first base. Then they get the Braves top prospect in Shawvyer along with a really good relief prospect and Waddell who is profiled to be a decent fielder at 3b along with good contact skills, good obp and a very low strikeout rate. They could have gotten so much more last year but I would not be upset with a trade like this if they know Ohtani isn’t coming back.

https://theathletic.com/4063022/2023/01/06/yankees-analytics-rangers-free-agents/ “Angels officials viewed Eovaldi as a pitcher who, when combined with Shohei Ohtani and Anderson, would have made the top of their rotation even more formidable. The team is not necessarily looking to add another starter, but its pursuit of Eovaldi reflects a continuing desire to add impact pieces if possible.“

Would you be happy if the name you know won the bid?

Any hints on who is among that group of 5???

Did recent news come out of at least five bidders?

That’s… ummm… interesting. I wonder what the plan would have been if they signed him.

Since the Winter Meetings start today, I thought it would be fun to post our predictions. They can be predictions for any team or just based off the Angels. Here are my winter meeting predictions: Judge signs with a mystery team (Mets, Phillies, Braves, Houston) Mets sign Verlander Trea Turner signs with Phillies Angels trade for Scott Barlow and make a decent trade for a shortstop (Joey Wendle) Padres sign Syndergaard Houston signs Cody Bellinger Brandon Nimmo signs with Toronto And the big surprise is that the Padres trade Tatis Jr to the Baltimore orioles for Gunnar Henderson, Colton Cowser and two pitching prospects.

Astros owner Jim Crane told Mark Berman of Houston’s Fox 26 on Sunday that the team has reached out to Correa’s agent, Scott Boras, and they were “in discussions.” Those talks, however, seem to be generating little progress. While talks are fluid, and can change with one phone call, some with the Astros are pessimistic about the team’s chances of bringing Correa back. https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/1504648635526656028

"Chris Carpenter, the last Cardinal to win a Cy Young Award, has joined the Los Angeles #Angels in a role that will allow him to work with young pitchers on their mental skills and advancement toward the majors"

What are your predictions for the trade deadline? Do the Angels buy, sell or maybe do both? What players do you think they target? My prediction is that Perry acquires Jose Berrios and Tyler Duffey from the Twins for a package centered around Marsh and William Holmes. Give me your best trade predictions for the Halos below

Brandon Kintzler on a minor league deal and Taijuan Walker.

I have no idea. Just saying that those names from the Padres were based on the Lindor rumor.

Those Padre prospects are for the Lindor rumor.

Angels hire Joe Maddon Angels sign Gerrit Cole Angels sign Will Harris

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/10/managerial-rumors-kapler-maddon-ausmus-beltran.html Joe Maddon has widely been linked to the Angels‘ job and “is set to interview with” the club, ESPN.com’s Buster Olney reports (subscription required).

This would be a great start for 2019

Jerry was desperate after losing out on Ohtani last year.

If we were talking to Robertson, I would think Eppler would be in the market for Ottavino and Britton.

If $10-12 million is really the amount available, then Grandal would be pushing it. I'd sign : Lucroy for 5-6 million Tulo for league minimum Shawn Kelly and Xavier Cedeno for $3-4 million each. Last, I would trade Bedrosian for whatever we can get. If we had a little more money to play with than the estimated $10-$12 million: Grandal for $12-15 million per year Cody Allen for $7-8 million Tony Sipp for $4-5 million Tulowitzki for league minimum
