Just bring the Halos - Stroman and two relievers and trade for a RF like Kepler, and move Anderson to long innings/spot starting.

Perhaps they are working on a trade or two.

We finally hit the two million mark on AngelsWin.com.
After bouncing around from 2004-2013 we finally found a permanent solution for our website’s home back in Feb of 2013.
Since then we have had over 2 million posts across 45.6k topics. 
Thank you all for calling AngelsWin.com your internet home for Angels talk and more. 

Yeah, it was pretty much a debbie downer of a show if I'm being honest, but a whole bunch of truths spoken.

This was a good show but it definitely had a "humbug Scrooge" feel. Unfortunately, this is the reality of the club. 

Nope, Not a Los Angeles Angel of Anaheim.

No.

Sho-who?

I don't root for Dodgers

Not interested whatsoever

He’s a dodger. Time to move on.
 
This is like wondering if we’d have just listened to our ex gf while she was rambling about something irrelevant if she would have blown those 2 guys at the Irish bar and never called again. 
 
I know I’m not the only one you liars. 

Oh yeah, Ohtani loved it in Anaheim, loved the fans, blah, blah, blah.
No money, no honey.
 

I want to say Guerrero but I can't honestly remember.

One of these years we gotta get lucky, right? 

In my mind, there will never be a better time to make make sweeping changes to the Angels organization.  Some of the things that pop into my mind are changing the name back to California Angels (just get rid of Los Angeles), changing the uniforms, redesigning the look of the stadium (inside and outside), put emergency emphasis on player development and the associated latest development tools, and hiring the best training staff possible.  With Ohtani gone for life, it's kind of a great time to step back and make calculated changes throughout.  I'm encouraged by the Arizona and Texas models, we can do that in short order.  Baseball is not about only one superstar on a team, if there was ever a total team game this is it.  I don't necessarily want any of the remaining high priced free agents, unless they are committed to this organization plan and are willing to be reasonable in cost.  I want the the overlooked and highly motivated young players.  High priced free agents are generally inefficient.  We have a great start with Washington and his staff for the time period we are currently in that includes important young players.
Tear down the hype in the stadium of individual players especially including the pictures on the stadium front.  I would use photos of team achievement over the years, especially 2002.  There are many great historical team photos as well besides 2002.  We will always have an affinity for the uniforms that were used in our first World Series win, but those could be used for many special occasions during the year, not the everyday ones.  I would incorporate some that had ocean blue and beach sand colors on a theme like the city connects.  I know you guys have some great ideas in your head, I would like to hear them voiced.  There will probably never be a better moment to make sweeping changes than now.   Done correctly, what a great way to bring back some of the excitement following the loss of the the greatest player to play this game to date.  It's time to bury grief and move on folks!
For those of you who want a new owner, I get it.  A lot of the above is what I would hope a new owner would do.  Embrace change, big change.  We have to ditch doing the same ineffective things.
 
 

I'd say now he can walk back here and re-join the team, but he never walks.

They are never "in" on anyone until they sign them. It's always been how they operate.
I guarantee they're looking at everything.

not even close to done. there are still plenty of roster spots to fill.
just because there aren't a lot of rumors doesn't mean they're sitting in the office playing x-box. we know from a lot of years of watching that perry and company are on the phone everyday looking to fill the needs of the team. 
it requires a lot of patience on our part as we want things done RIGHT NOW, but that's not how these things work.

Perhaps I haven’t seen it (I follow @Jeff Fletcher closely on OCR), but does Arte and the organization owe the fans, ST holders, the players (assuming they haven’t gotten info), and pending free agents an explanation?
It would be nice if our media actually had access to the owner to discuss these things. Not a press conference but a nice sit down one on one. 
 
It’s hard to believe the org sucks this hard, but then it isn’t.  They can’t even say “we tried everything to keep Shohei here?”

Thanks guys! I love the upbeat message. Players come and go but the team goes on.

Glad all is well.

Thanks guys, really appreciate you guys getting the urgency and getting this episode out to us.
100% agree I really want to see the Halos get back to the type of ball they played under Mauch/ Scioscia and get away from this station to station ball they been playing the last few years. 

I disagree with this. Injuries are not under his control. He seems like he wants to be out there but more in Salmon way than an Erstad way.
