I would not be surprised if they add someone in the next week who’s a roster crunch or a vet on a minor league deal who will be released. 

There is some smoke around the Astros jumping in late to sign Snell…

Woah, I must have missed that when I was chatting it up with @Blarg
I just pictured in my head some rap music playing and James, Scott, Katie and I holding Brian back from charging Arte about eliminating draft beer like the guy in Office Space was held back from attacking the copying machine with the bat. 

I appreciate Trout coming out and putting a little heat on Arte/Carpino.

We have all been clamoring for Mike to be more vocal and express his desires... Well today is about as open as he can be to the fans, the media and the FO. He wants to be here and win here, he has not and will not ask for a trade YET but in return he wants Arte to keep improving this team or at least attempt to improve it. So I can easily see Trout and Perry telling Arte they want money for Snell or Monty but Arte thinking it might not move the needle enough "entertainment" wise. Bellinger however as many of us have talked about this offseason seems like the perfect Arte deal. He gets an ex Dodger and another lefty in the lineup, it just makes too much sense if Arte was to be pressured into signing one of the bigger FA's remaining. 
Id certainly be happy if we signed Bellinger but as usual the SP is still very suspect

Remember when the "unfinished business" guy said "we need to do right by Mike".  I do.
I'm not saying cater to his whims, but if your last remaining superstar is telling you guys want to play for your team and your GM believes guys can help your team win and you still choose to do the opposite then I don't want to hear any BS, about how you want to win, care about the fan experience, or any other pap.
This is the least established team they have rolled out in over a decade, not the least talented.  Your GM has rebuilt what had been the weakest part of the team and you have people available that could shore up the parts of your team that while talented might be volatile.
Put the damn cherry on the freaking sundae already.

I like the public pressure that has been falling on Arte.

Jesus, this sucks. Lowered payroll, kept Ohtani for “fan entertainment” and there’s no ballpark plan. Why is he keeping the team then? There is no plan.

I wanna see him in the stands doing that after Sandoval has a meltdown.

I’d rather have Hicks at league minimum than Duvall at $8-10 million

I have this gut feeling that Arte will swoop in and sign Bellinger before the end of the month. 

I would stay away from Snell & Bellinger. This is not the year to give up draft picks.

We don't sign anyone, and people complain.  We sign someone, and people complain.  
One of the areas we needed help with was the bullpen.  Now, with Estevez and Stephenson, the bullpen is a lot better.  
We now have a good young core of position players, a good group of young starters, and an improved bullpen.  
This team is better than some of you think. 

I find it hilarious we signed one of the best relievers on the market and still everyone is a total twat about it. Well done Angel fans. 

Outstanding signing. I'm a big fan.
