"Will we trade Trout" is turning into the new "will Pujols retire and bail us out of the rest of his contract?"

Why would Bochy be available?

Lol they're gonna win like 3 games the rest of the season

At this rate they'll struggle to even get to 70 wins

Really happy for Arte. I know this means a lot to him

Runner on 3rd, no outs, with our 3 best hitters coming up. This should be fun

How many guys in dugout are praying they get claimed. They're going to feel as fortunate as people in the lifeboats watching the people in the water as the Titanic went down.

Not Moore apparently. He wants to stay an Angel for life 

Arte getting drunk and punching the air right now

The single most expected occurrence in human history

This pitching staff is just repulsive. And then on top of that imagine this staff with Lance Lynn instead of Ohtani next year

Just now, Angel Oracle said:

Arte Moreno must be so proud of what he’s done to this franchise.

He's probably drunk right now tbh

Thank you Anderson and Soriano!

Embrace the increased odds of a top 10 lottery pick!

I'm excited to draft another high floor low ceiling college bat that will be called up next September and will be used to distract from another losing season

Angels pitching showing up to the ballpark every game:

Grichuk auditioning now.

Arte is chortling gleefully rn. This will save him a few bucks while the team continues to lose

This entire roster goes home and puts paper clips in outlets for fun

This is exactly the kind of penny wise pound foolish move you'd expect the Angels to make

The best part about this? We'll make the exact same mistake again next year

All will be claimed. 

I could see Moore and Lopez. The rest not so much. 

Lol. will anyone even claim these guys?

Maybe people were too quick to elevate O'Hoppe into a star of the future. Really small sample size still and a long way to go with his learning ng curve. The Angels need some production from a catcher, not just defense.

Angels player development rearing its ugly head again. Meanwhile the Astros have a guy like Yainer Diaz coming out of nowhere and crushing it

Giolito has been atrocious. Where do they find these guys?

Carrasco is awful against lefties

I hate Dipoto, thought he was a bad GM then and a bad GM now, but @bruin5 is right in that they can’t be compared. Eppler and Minasian have had to work with much less as a result of Dipoto.

I will say though that I think Dipoto actually learned something about his time as GM in Anaheim - the Angels didn’t. Jerry found a way to still trade aggressively but also build and maintain a young core concurrently. Not a great system but he’s found a way to make it work there that he didn’t know how to do in Anaheim - and I don’t think that’s an Arte thing. Jerry actually learned something and grew from it. Their little 1-2 year rebuild they did is exactly something the Angels should’ve done at least once in the last half-decade.

That's another downside of hiring novices to save money. Some of them will learn from their mistakes but they'll also tend to make their worst ones at their first stop, like Dipoto did with us.

Mo Vaughn was one of the main guys that made me an Angels fan back in the day. As a 10 year old not aware of the clubhouse issues he just seemed cool to root for.
