$3B - as a guy who made his money in private equity, I don't think he doesn't have a plan, financially speaking.  The team is losing money, but I don't think he has any concerns over that.
With Soto being a free agent after this season, keeping him *and* signing Ohtani seems like a fantasy - if I were Seiler, extending Soto is a greater priority than pursuing Ohtani.
 

Even without the stats to back it up, it was obvious to the eye that he'd changed his approach to swinging at stuff in his eyes.
A couple more interesting things from Fangraphs
 


 
His FB% has become awful the last couple of years - combined with a reduced EV and barrel rate, that says he's become the king of the can of corn.  
It's not hard to see why - look at the SW% above the zone:
 

His injury is less important than recognizing he's developed some really bad habits and he needs to work on that aspect of his game.

The difference between the two bolded lines.  It's just a really terrible strategy to have him up there hacking.  And it's even worse for him to be hacking at pitches out of the zone.    I get that guys struggle with that part of the game but he's show his ability to not do that.  To not do it on purpose when your avg exit velo is in the bottom 1% of the league is just stupid.  

He had a 2.91 ERA last season.
You have high standards. 

Indeed, that was a big fail last season - we depended far too much on Adell and Marsh - got lucky with Ward (but injuries to him and Trout doomed any hope for the season.)
Perry should've been fired if he entered this season depending on Adell again.  
I hope Adell succeeds - but he has to be realistic - he's not been able to contribute at this level and if he wants to play in the majors, he has to improve. I hope he's not harboring some resentment because he thinks he deserves a roster spot - because if he's honest with himself, he doesn't.  

Bleacher Report probably.

Britton in the 2-3M range would be nice.

Yes.
If/When Ohtani leaves Arte's unfinished business will be complete...

Matt Moore please! 

When my ex wife pointed out at the hearing I'm horrible at sex, and that's why she's leaving me, my lawyer countered with this.

In that vein, In the soccer community, a frequently asked question is "Why doesn't the US, with its huge population and many fine athletes, produce many world-class soccer players?"
Because football, basketball, baseball, hockey, tennis, golf, lacrosse, Ultimate Frisbee ... 

Phrases like 'Big Mad' annoy me a bit, is that what you mean?

Yeah, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome surgery results depend on a lot of things - there are different types of TOS, different surgeries, and varying success levels of improving symptoms.
And "success" is measured differently for a professional athlete than some random keyboard warrior.
I'm glad we have some backup, Urshela should help soften the blow if Walsh isn't able to come back, but our chances of being a playoff contender will be much better with a healthy Walsh.

Uh-Oh,
Hence the Urshela signing...

That morning, watching the news before work, I saw the video of ice on the boosters, etc, and there was obvious concern - I felt a bit queasy about it, but decided they'd play it safe like they usually did.
Our office admin was listening to to the launch on her radio and I joined her to listen, and we both heard it the live - we were in utter shock, couldn't believe what we heard.  Some co-workers saw us listening, wondered what was going on, and soon, most of the officer were gathered around that radio.  In my memory, we didn't say a word, but that's probably not right.  
I decided the two other guys in the office who hadn't come out should know, and the admin and I went to their shared office where they were having a kind of heated discussion about some work related thing, and they didn't stop, and I didn't, couldn't interrupt them - I was trying to figure out what words I'd say - and I just couldn't imagine myself saying "the shuttle exploded after launch, and it doesn't sound like there are any survivors."
Finally, after what seemed like 5 minutes of me just standing there, I spotted a radio on one's desk - I went to it, turned it on, and tuned to the news station.  Said something like "Listen to the news" and walked out - I couldn't bring myself to say what had happened out loud.
As as kid, I watched the Apollo missions, including 11 from launch to recovery and I ditched school so I could watch 13's re-entry on tv, and built the Saturn V various components models several times, and many of friend's fathers worked in aerospace, including Douglas and Rockwell and whoever that was with the manufacturing facility in in Hawthorne - Northrop?  
To me, the Challenger was one of the most shocking moments of my life.
 

Person A: "I think this is kinda dumb."
Person B: "OMG why do you even care? This is such a non issue. Get over it."
Person A: "I don't care that much."
Person C : "It's hilarious how much some people care about this."

Well, since it's Arte, I'm thinking something like:

Yeah - my list had Vlad on it at first - but I thought about it a bit, and realized there were other long-time Angels who fit the bill better.  
Agreed - it's probably Fregosi to get bumped - or Finley - it seems like Finley is underrated, somehow?
