I was wrong about Ryan Bolden.

I'm still holding out hope

We should sign Anthony Bass too

Maybe Bauer said no to Angels.

Anything less than 4/60m would be unacceptable

They'll sign this doofus and then stay away from Bauer due to "PR concerns."

So Trout is 8th due to recency bias but then Posey, who retired 3 years ago and put together one passable season since 2017 is 4th? And Seager finally puts together one solid season and is 6th? Yeah ok. May as well put Scooter Gennett and Todd Ziele on there too just to check if anyone's paying attention.

If you think the angels are going to win 65 games next year, you are being dumb and unserious.

Too optimistic?

Angels signing Bellinger would be like the Rockies signing Ian Desmond. Just a dumb unserious team trying to spend money on anyone that will talk to them in the hopes of pretending to their fans that they're trying to win.

Like ok, we can sign no one and win 65 games or we can sign Bellinger and Snell and win 71 games but the optics will be slightly better to the most casual tier of fans who don't pay attention to wins and losses. Classic Arte move. 

There was probably a clause in the offer to the Angels that allowed Ohtani to opt out if Arte didn't sell within 2 years

Asking us to be happy? Not a chance

"We almost had him. We made a strong offer to show how committed we are to winning" Arte and gang after offering 8/250

Arte is drunk and doesn't give a shit

Regardless of the size of the contract, fielding a team so terrible that it convinces your generational star to sign with a cross-town rival is a downright galaxy brain move by Arte. The man is an absolute legend.

Would love to see the Dogs get hit with a really bad contract a few years down the road.

Ohtani will continue putting up historic numbers every year and the Dodgers will still lose in the NLDS/NLCS in embarrassing fashion every year.

WTF is general stigma?

It's when you don't wash your genitals for a while

Decent enough hire. Probably won't make difference given what the roster will look like and Arte still being owner though

Chris Coghlan and Angel Berroa would be great adds as well

The thread that keeps on giving

Meh, they'll just hire another guy with no experience. Not that it matters with this roster anyway

I have it on good authority that he is almost 100% certain of returning.  

Not surprising. He's cheap and the team isn't going anywhere anyway

We all know they'll sign Bellinger for 8/200 and replace Ohtani's spot in the rotation with Lance Lynn

And for your nightmare fuel, consider the possibility of one of our tougher AL West rivals missing the playoffs then getting the first overall pick.  0.2% chance as of right now.

Pretty much exactly what will happen. And they already got Langford from last year's draft, who looks like he may be the best prospect in the class. 

Time for the annual September hot streak after being eliminated

At least the M's bullpen is having a total meltdown
