The best thing to happen to Edmonds was the Angels traded CF Chad Curtis to Detroit for super utility man Tony Phillips.

The White Rat!!!

I remember some of those 80's trades between Whitey and Trader Jack McKeon of the Padres... 

He tried in the 90's and we got Hubbie Brooks & Gone Days... just didn't work out.

I remember that.  He wanted to get Bobby Bonilla and Danny Tartabull, but they signed elsewhere so he ended up signing Brooks and trading for Hayes.

Rendon needs to get a hit first, then go from there.

Rendon hit well for Washington before, he can do it again!

Can we call Houston the Lastros again?  At least for now?  It’s been a while..

Detmers gave Shohei some of that sweet chin music.

Yamamoto's 95 mph fb and curve wasn't fooling anyone.  $325 million lol.  MLB hitters gonna rake on him.

I always thought the Dodgers took a big gamble on giving Yamamoto a 12 year contract.  That's too risky for a pitcher.

He has almost no other suitors.

I think the Mets and Marlins also interested in JD.

Great, now Arte's gonna rage spend on Snell.

Neat source of Angels pics.... 

Looks like Kurt Suzuki is a guest instructor early in camp.

Both sides believe he can recoup some value in 2023 — the health aspect is big, but there’s familiarity in the organization for Bellinger. Assistant hitting coach Johnny Washington was a coach in the Dodgers minor league system from 2009 through 2015 and was the Padres hitting coach in 2019, when the two were in the NL West.

“J-Wash, we’ve been in close contact since he was with the Dodgers,” Bellinger said. “He’s just an intelligent guy and loves baseball. He’s known me since I was 17, 18 years old.”

Minor deal for Mr. Infinity.  Good sense of humor.

So, we're in on Ray?

The biggest thing I remember about Nevin with the Angels was that game in 1998 against the Royals when Jim Pittsley plunked him and he charged the mound.

Ausmus too?

Getting the band back together

Bachman's delivery reminds me a little of Joe Grahe, but I'm sure Bachman is better.

Domo arigato Mr. Roboto

The "Fire Scioscia" people were also the ones claiming that Maddon is a genius. That's a tough sell these days.

 

Ah yes, the "Maddon was the real brains behind 2002" people.

Mets just signed Cameron Maybin.
