Honestly, trade him now. we need way more than we will be willing to pay for. with a trade you can get a top tier starter, a position player (SS) and a bunch of near ready minor league arms. his value will never be higher. Do I want to do this? Absolutely not. But as others have mentioned, we are just going to float around 500 for the next few years. His salary and controllable years along with MVP and every other award, now would be the time to move him.

Sorry if this is a Craig. Haven't been on that much. But I am really curious as to how much is coming off the books. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Go Halos!!

Just throwing these numbers out there to start the conversation.

Hitting

.285 Avg

25 HR's

85 RBI's

Pitching

8+ wins

3.00 ERA or lower

100 k's

1.20 WHIP

I blame Reagins.

Go Halos!!!

Have you read Astros fans opinions on this?  Most are perfectly fine with it.  

No, I haven't. But I would think that the money lost to the teams would force owners to demand more be done.

Go Halos!!!

Fans boycotted every Astros away game. To force MLB to institute a real punishment on the players involved in the cheating. It seems that the loss of revenue will be the only way to make change happen.

Just a thought.

Go Halos!!!

Wow!!

Sometimes the best trade is the one you don't make.

Go Halos!!

All video feeds that are allowed in the venue go through an MLB video truck on site.

Go Halos!!!

I would like to nominate this thread as "Thread of the Year!".

Can I get a "Second"?

Go Halos!!!

I've let him go, I'm good. But I would love to see some drama start up between Boras and the Yankees. Maybe something showed up in the physical or his wife had a change of heart.

Go Halos!!!

I have seen "Yankees to sign Cole" But I have yet to see "Yankees Sign Cole". Maybe, I am just reading too much into this. But could there be something holding the deal up?

Go Halos!!!

Rendon

Go Halos!!!

Would like the Angels to try and pry Edwin Diaz away from the Mets. 2 years ago he had 50+ saves for the Mariners. When he was dealt to the Mets along with Cano, Diaz just fell apart. I believe that the Mets tweaked his delivery and it really threw him off. I am hoping that the Angels can get him on the cheap and tell him to do what it was that he was doing before.

Go Halos!!!

This may sound a crazy, but I say try to trade for Edwin Diaz from the Mets. His stuff was electric two years ago and his lousy 2019 had more to do with his environment than anything physical. We may get him cheap after how bad his 2019 went.

Go Halos!!!

I wasn't able to read the whole thread. But I notice that Wheeler is being mentioned as a possible starting pitching option. Just want to remind everyone that Wheeler was extended a QO. Not sure I would want to extend the draft compensation for anyone other than Cole.

Go Halos!!!

Sign Carew as the hitting coach.

Go Halos!!!

I hope the Astros win it all and Cole shines. If the Halos are going to dump millions on a guy, I want to be sure he isn't Kershaw 2.0.

Go Halos!!!

If Trout was facing a lefty pitcher that falls away towards third base, I would love to see him bunt between 2nd and 1st. He would only have to do it a few times in the season for the rest of the league to change how they play him. We could potentially have a .400 hitter.

I'm just old school I guess

I didn't read the whole thread, so its my bad if this was discussed.

Go Halos!!!

F%&#ING Reagins!!!

Go Halos!!!

FU%&ING Reagins!!

Go Halos!!!

Calhoun

Go Halos!!!

Any moment they will announce that Upton needs Tommy John surgery on one or both of his legs.

Go Halos!!!

Any details?

This is awesome news!!

Go Halos!!!

Let's see what Ohtani can do with 500+ Ab's. Let his pitching arm heal and revisit it during the off-season.

Go Halos!!!

I would love to see Harper in right, Trout in center, Simmons at SS and Ohtani on the mound. I would also love to see the stadium filled with 40k fans every night. Which would hopefully put the attendance over 4 million for the year. When Pujols FINALLY comes off the books, everything would then fall back into place. Harper and Trout are EXACTLY the kind of players that you go over the luxury tax for. Could you imagine potentially seeing four Angel players starting in an All Star game? That would be insane!!

Go Halos!!!
