Maybe fletcher is talking out of his ass but no disrespect, I’ll go with his idea. 

Link?

It may be both, but anyone who thinks this trade deadline isn't a major black mark against Minasian, well, I have a Bridge to sell you.

You think Arte understands the CBA as it relates to free agency compensation? 
No, he doesn't. This was a Minasian move. 

Anyone who thinks this is a good move....
Nevin is most certainly getting fired and Perry is probably getting pushed out the door as well.
@swordsman78 and other Jock Swingers...Face reality. Your guys suck at their jobs. Time for a complete overhaul.

Agreed on Swordsman. He is smug, know it all, jerk.
I see that when Rendon plays, and he's healthy, this team is better. And it wouldn't surprise me if he's got a poor attitude with all of the random injuries.

“Too early to tell on Nevin” 😂😂😂
 
”the players are on record supporting him” 😂😂😂 what are they gonna do? Say “this guy sucks” if that’s what they’re REALLY thinking.
He never was the answer.  He’s had time to show what he can do.  He’s failed….and I’d have to say he’s failed abysmally 😂😂😂😂

Bumping this, but I actually think Arte sells after the season. Watching this team self destruct, he's gonna be tired. 

Rational is not supporting the manager who has a 107-127 record.
Rendon leaving means you have to get two third baseman, meaning signing Moustakas and another one, like Urshela. Plus when he is healthy he is still productive.
Would I trade him if someone wanted to pick up his whole or the majority of the deal? And it didn't require sacrificing a young player or prospect like Joyce or Neto? Of course, but if the Angels had to pay the entire contract, I don't see the point in essentially cutting him with that much left on his deal. 
We all have our players we don't like and the ones we do. You and I greatly differ on those we like and don't like, but it doesn't make one of us right or wrong.
 
You're not wrong, but you have been combative, smug, know it all asshat since you started posting, and no one here likes you. But keep on posting bud.
 

I don’t need protecting Chuck. I think full circle and Sword have consistently been fucking idiots on here. So to disagree with them is completely fine to me. Maybe I’m wrong about Rendon, that’s fine, I’ve been wrong before. Guys like full circle choose to assume the worst in people, I choose not to.

Everyone knows what I am going to say here, but I'll start with Minasian. Nevin. Montgomery. Wise (And I hoped he'd be a better pitching coach but no). Thames. 
As far as players: Loup, Escobar, Velazsquez. Renfroe is meh. Rengifo should be traded. Barria can go as he's struggling. I'd also let Cron go, and consider bringing back Grichuck, but may let him go as well.
 
But the majority of the team is gonna be here.
1B: Schanuel
2B: Drury 
3B: Rendon
SS: Neto
Catcher: O'Hoppe
CF: Trout
LF: Moniak
RF: Ward
DH: Ohtani? -- with his injury, I think the chances of him staying put skyrocketed from a low point after the deadline. I think he was in line for a huge contract, and had maybe a 10% chance of staying prior (down from 50% if they had improved after the deadline) and now while he'll get one, it's not topping Mike's by much and it will include opt-outs.
Bench: Thaiss, Moustakas (Re-sign), Urshela or comparable (Re-sign), Adell
SP: Giolito or comparable (Re-sign), Sandoval, Anderson, Detmers, Canning, Silseth
RP: Estevez, Moore (Re-Sign), Lopez (Re-Sign), Bachman, Devenski, Joyce, TBD, TBD.
 

Nevin still sucks though

First off, I've done my reading on this, and there are dozens of articles that state that the girl is 17, not 14. 
And if you dont want to discuss things, why post? Don't be a dick.
 

If he's back in ten days. There are 40 games left, I'd bet Schanuel plays 25-30 of them? 

4 PA per game for the next 40 games is 160 PA and that would void his rookie eligibility.
O'Hoppe has 75 and he's likely to get at least that many more, so he's probably out for rookie eligibility.
 

First off, the 14 is inaccurate reporting. AP says the girl was 17.
I do understand legal and age gaps and age of consent.... But to think that there aren't thousands of 22 year olds dating 17 year olds is to be ignorant. How many movies are there where a High School girl dates a College Guy? It happens. Heck one dude in my high school class married a 22 year old teacher from our school the day he turned 18. I'm not saying it's ok, I'm saying it happens..and a 5 year age gap is a lot closer to being acceptable than a 22 year age gap. 
I'll tell you one of my examples is way creepier than the other, but both are probably not appropriate. Do we know what the Age of Consent is in the DR? (edit -- its 18) If she was 14, I understand your sentiment about being banned for life, as that's a child. But 17? A few months before it's legal? It will be a suspension, but not a banishment.  I'm not defending him, FYI, I think age of consent is age of consent, and that is the law. But to ban for life? I doubt it.
Also, I will say, I havent read the social media posts, and I dont know if there was violence (which changes the deal), or what the circumstances were. 

That’s kind of like like saying “Evander Holyfield impregnated more than one woman.”

Rendon to the 60 Day IL?
It was retroactive to July 11, so that means September 8th or 9th is when he'd be eligible to come back, so he must still be weeks away from being healthy enough to resume baseball activities.
Cron to 10 day IL, Rendon to 60 Day IL is my guess of the roster moves.

No way Franco is suspended for life. He'll get a minor suspension, as the girl he's rumored to be dating is 17, not 14. And Franco is 22. That's not good age gap but it's not like a 40 year old player dating an 18 year old.

The Angels have a solid track record of developing young draftees, so this should work out well.
