Makes 5 mil this year. Its not sexy but depth never is. Would you trade Rengifo for him straight up or save our bullets for something bigger at the trade deadline?
Just read on MLB Traderumors that the Yankees checked in on the Mets asking price. It was reported they would want an MLB talent in return i.e. Miguel Andujar. The Yankess wont part w/ Andujar but could the Angels line up with a Rengifo and maybe another piece? Would it be worth it?
I apologize if this has been discussed.
Heaney, Canning, Bundy - each win at least 15 games
Heaney and Canning will have a low 3 ERA - lets say 3.25
Ohtani will have a 2.5 ERA
Angels will hit over 245 HR's
Angels win the West
I'm on board with the upside of Ryu vs Kuechel because of the additions of inning eaters in Bundy and Teheran, though I would be happy with either. My biggest concern was Ryu's injury history and this post calmed my fears quit a bit. Thank you!
I think Ryu if given the choice would take less guaranteed money but incentive laden deal like Stradling mentioned over the Blue Jays, even if they offered a couple million more guaranteed. The incentives deal from the Angels would need to exceeded the Blue Jays guaranteed offer though. I think that would be fair for both sides. Just a gut feeling.
The Rangers got Kluber for their 30th ranked prospect - not even in their top 15. Without looking it up I think our farm system is rated pretty similar if not better than the Rangers.
Its not my money, sign Kuechel and Ryu and save our bullet for the trade deadline if its needed.
Ryu
Ohtani
Kuechel
Heaney
Bundy
Canning, Sandoval, Suarez, Barria
