How about Martauer?
Regarding Snellgomery, I’d rather wait a year for a pitcher who checks all the boxes including Halos fan growing up:  Burnes.
Durable, 6 innings/start since 2021, excellent WHIP and Ks/BBs ratio, RHP, proven ace, only 30 in 2025, and Halos fan growing up 
Closest thing to Cole, who was a Yankees fan growing up

I think it’s a joke based on the thought Arte would rage spend on Snellinger after losing Shohei. 

Spring Training Jo Adell is the best player ever 

It's nothing new, it is a meaningless ST game, but it's always so easy to see why scouts fawn on Adell.  The amount of bat speed he showed on that triple was nuts, dude waited on that pitch forever and still was able to get the bat around enough to pull it to the gap.
Whenever it clicks for him, if it clicks for him, he's going to be fun to watch. Dude seems to feed on his own good performance too.

One thing Boras needs to understand is that other than Martinez (age 36), none of his other clients has been a model of consistency over the past several years.
Snell: two Cy Young’s sandwiched around a bunch of seasons where averaging just 5 innings/start and never exceeding 130 innings mainly due to averaging just 24 starts a season in those other 4 full seasons 
Montgomery: until this past season, just a solid and not great pitcher
Bellinger: two bad seasons preceding a really good 2023
Chapman: mediocre hitting May 2023 through September 2023, plus sub .750 OPS the past 3 years and fielding declining some

If there was ever a season where the Angels would have 2-3 breakouts from their young guys, it would be this season. 
Hoping it happens for Adell and a couple others. If it does, theres a damn good chance the Angels are playing meaningful baseball in Sept/Oct. 

He said he wasn't going to add to payroll unless the player would substantially make the team better. 
Honestly I think Montgomery and JD Martinez would do that, but that's just me.

Neat source of Angels pics.... 

I'd rather have JT or JD Martinez than Duvall

Classic Angels hitting target
Well over 30? Check
Declining skillset? Check
Doesn't fit team's timeline? Check
Offensive profile is limited to hitting homers and doing nothing else? Check

Go Red Sox!

Yeah, for once I hope we lose the bidding war. 

Just picking up where Renfroe left off.

I am mystified that they haven’t at least signed some one year deals with decent enough players in the meantime, since the Bally’s issue doesn’t impact 2024.
They are still some $65-70 million under the 2024 tax threshold.

You have to think a lot of teams viewed him as a 4th or 5th starter. 

I've heard/read that Imanaga is an extreme fly ball  pitcher... good luck Chicago.

When was the last time this many key  FAs were unsigned this late in the off-season?

If someone like Duvall is the main option at this point, I'd honestly just rather send Adell/Moniak out there for the full year and finally answer whether either/both of them can hack it.  

Some compare Duvall to Renfroe.
But Duvall’s RISP OPS puts Renfroe’s to shame (career RISP OPS over .800, including over 1.100 in 2021 and a solid mark in 2023).

Signing Hader seems like a waste of resources for where the team is right now, but what do I know?  He'll likely get the largest contract ever (or close to it) for a closer.  Seems like something a team that's on the verge of winning it all would do to shore up things, not something a team in the Angels' position should be doing.

I can say this, Murray is the closest connected to the Angels out there of all the media heads. 
I wouldn’t be shocked if the Angels sign Josh Hader and/or Stroman from what I understand.

What a bad contract. He struck out 211 times last year.  He had a 106 OPS+ this year. Jesus Taylor Ward could fetch us a shit ton. 

Sandoval loosely translates to Suarez in Japanese. 

Cue the "A healthy Rendon and Trout is like adding FA" comments from the office

Mr. Imanaga, you do understand that by Thursday, you need to have chosen a team, get your physical, and dot the i’s before signing?
