Shohei has reported to Tempe

After all this Luis Rengifo is still the odd man out of our infield. Hopefully we find something else soon.

The more I think about it the more this one hurts. I was more than prepared to move into Spring Training with the team we had before this trade happened. I really believed with our roster we would be wild card contenders.Then the trade news got out and I got to thinking how much more dynamic our offense would be with Joc in the lineup and Stripling breaking out as a full-time starting pitcher (also adding in another prospect in Pages). This move would have pushed us to at the very least wild-card favorites. Then to have that all taken away..... To go back to "just being" wild card contenders feels so wrong. This shit sucks. I REALLY hope Eppler and company have something up their sleeve. Because we got a taste of how good this team can be with just one more move and it's a tough pull to swallow to go back.

I wanted to say this but I'm glad Fletcher did first lol

As some of you guys already stated in the other thread:

My dumbass keeps coming back here with the hope that something might have changed LOL

In most cases I'd disagree but after all that's happened these past few days I also wouldn't be surprised if this happened

this sucks

It's cute that you think this is done with. This thread will be at 150 pages by the end of the week

I could see the Angels having another deal lined up instead. I don't think Eppler is the type to sit and wait and when the league heard of the potential trade for Strip/Joc, Eppler began shopping to other teams. Nvm we got buttercupped.

i'm out

@Jeff Fletcher can we know what the rumored deal was since this trade isn't going to happen now? lol

Can I get that week of my life back, please?

I am dead inside

I read this as Luke Raley and Graterol were heading to the Angels and almost shat myself

Writer for the Boston Globe pretty close to the organization. Had no idea who he was until this entire fiasco.

nice

Surprisingly that puts you in the minority because on Twitter everyone thinks they know who is in the deal.

If there's any GM that would keep Graterol as a starter it's Eppler.
