If they do hit rock-bottom, it'll mean a high draft pick. They've been doing .500 regardless of the payroll for so long. Finally have a chance at top talent in the Draft. When your payroll and talent lags behind competitors, it leads to certain realities. We know Rendon. We know Trout. If the others overachieve great, but the consensus is this is not a playoff-caliber team. Ron Washington knows that. It'll be a long season, but the realities of a rebuild with possible ownership change are looming. Hopefully for the better.

Arte controlling the pursestrings

Of course Ohtani and the Angels saw none of this.

161-1

Rendon leadoff is superb so far, perhaps we rethink that

Rendon: *clocks in for work*

70. Ron Washington will manage the hell out of the team. Wouldnt be surprised if pieces get traded or shutdown towards the end of the season. Oakland in the division keeps Angels from being referenced as the last-place team. String of .500 seasons has kept Angels from high draft picks. This season may allow them to draft higher.

New interpreter guy was very Rendon. Clock-in, Clock-Out. Gave Ohtani a couple wtf looks

Ohtani could cancel today after giving it a second thought.

If Ohtani's account was used with his name on a transaction. Anyone else would likely be suspended. We'll see where Manfred goes with it

Odds of some plea deal to lesser crimes. Cant imagine this goes to trial

If he or Ohtani bet on baseball, rut-roh.

All this going on and Rendon just clocked in for work.

Ohtani eating ramen and shopping at DollarTree like the rest of us. Waiting for that deferred money.

Remember the $700M is deferred, so he's living off what he has. $4.5M is only one of more transfers. Of course Angels don't notice anything illegal these days (city corruption, drugs)

$150M 2024 payroll - Trout & Rendon make up 50% of it. This will go well.

Everyone take their timecards and punch-in for work.

I appreciate everyone here understanding what's going on, given the latest Mike Trout info. Fans, Players, Coaches. They know.

Should be suspended for longer. Eff him.

"Rendon already found a way to shorten the season" *ow-ow-ow*

This is about the time where Angels Management starts overpaying for lesser talent in order to land someone. Perhaps show some restraint here and pickup some actual building blocks.
