Cimber has been excellent. 

What a start for Soriano

GREAT GREAT NEWS FOR ANGEL FANS. Best news of off season and will make u love Arte. That's right Rodger Lodge has been signed. It's a 1 year contract. Please do not start honking your horns while driving. Honking your horn could cause road rage or an accident. If you do get in an accident remember to call Sweet James.

Shohei's punishment as a Dodger?  
A stern lecture
Shohei's punishment if he were still an Angel?
Surgical removal of his left arm and 5 lost draft picks for the Angels

What did Ohtani do when Mazuhara told him he had 4.5 mil in gambling debt?
Ippei'd it off.  

I mean there's no fucking way Ohtani didn't know about this. Like, come on. 
Manfred gonna try so hard to sweep this under the rug.

He reminds me of Kaleb Cowart, switch-hitting 3B with defense, speed, and some pop.
I was a huge fan of Cowart too, so I have decided I will now cling to hope that Fontenelle will be what Cowart wasn't.

Hicks isn't fucking around.

If they would have caved to his opt out request they would have had him.
I was given very similar info on Snell from a member of the Yankees front office.  He didn't have specifics on whatever deal the Angels might be working on but he claimed an average of 35 mil or an opt out after one season was what they were hearing Boras was looking for or had set as a starting point.
The actual signing will get him close to the 35 Mil after the one season and gets him back out there next season year without the burden of the draft pick.
If Arte was the reason they didn't do it, then its maybe the first time I'm happy he interfered with his GM.

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.

I'm 100% fine with the Angels not signing him to a deal like that. 

Im not giving Snell this contract just for him to opt out after year 1 with no playoffs leaving us without a second rounder. All for people to be happy we signed someone who is obviously better suited for a legit contender on that contract.

They can do that AND try to add pieces.  This just seems to be a situation where what he wants and what best suits the Angels doesn't really line up and to date neither side has been willing to make it work for both parties.
The Angels shouldn't be trying to sign anyone who will cost them a pick to a one and done deal -they aren't one player away.
