No, clone two more Marshes so you have three Marshes.

I feel like I’ve told you once before that Bauer was traded...

This!

No, Marsh is going to play in Salt Lake this season, take over for Goodwin as the 4th outfielder in 2021 while Upton transitions to DH and 1st base. By 2022 the outfield will be Marsh, Trout & Adell. That's called the long game plan not, what is happening at this very moment. 

Keuchel and Ryu are not off the board and I don't think the trade market is going to get worse.
You're asking "then what" for a hypothetical situation and I don't think the Angels are there yet.
I'd rather not panic unless there is an actual reason to do so.
Either you trust Eppler or you don't.  I'm willing to trust him at this point.

This!

I'm about to make a stellar point here
I think Cleveland wanted Marsh and another one of our top prospects because they know we are desperate for pitching, so they figured they could pull a fast one. Eppler called their bluff and (rightfully) walked away. They probably already had the offer from Texas and really, really liked Clase, and since we don't have a reliever of that quality and control they asked for Marsh to cover the difference. 
While Marsh is a top 100 prospect, Cleveland likely values Clase more right now. 
So while the "equivalent" trade in a vacuum would be something like Buttrey and Hermosillo, it's highly unlikely Cleveland would want Buttrey over Clase. 
I'm sure there's more to it than that, but ultimately it seems Cleveland overplayed their hand and Eppler wasn't willing to part with Marsh AND another top prospect to take on just 2 years of control and $35 million. 
Eppler isn't hoarding. He was smart here. Dipoto makes that trade in a heartbeat and probably throws in Adams for shits and giggles.

They think Donaldson will sign a 1-2 year contract.  They are crazy. lol

You see a replacement level player but you think he might turn into an All star?    I'm sure something was lost in translation for me, because I don't follow your reasoning.
People are putting too much stock into his batting average last year, you see it constantly brought up by fans commenting on him..  meanwhile he's managed as .321 OBP as a 22 year old with less than 115 minor league games played above High A...     Had he played the entire season in AA last year instead of the Angels he would have been two years younger than the average player in the Southern League...

Lets see how the Astros do without the cheating.  Im sure they will still be good but not as good as years past.

2019 OPS:
Trout -  1.083
Rendon - 1.010
he's good.

Texans aren't exactly known for their evaluation skills. After all, they live in Texas.

suck it @mymerlincat

I would love to see us get him and have Cole throw to SOB.  that would be great.  

Here's an easy response ....   His 7.0 fWAR, is equal to the top three fWAR Rangers position players combined last year..   Gallo, 3.3, Santana 1.9 and Pence 1.8

or simply use these two stats:
30
34

That would start and end with Adell. Much better just signing Rendon. They’re basically the same player. Rendon is probably a little better.

He wouldn’t be a salary dump, that’s for sure. Just sign Rendon and keep the prospects.
