He understands the Luxury tax and doesn't want to pay it.

This didn't come from the GM office. This came from Arte, and Perry is doing what he is told. Hoping to keep his job. I doubt it will happen.

It's the repeat tax, they don't want to pay.

I see so many excuses for him, and no one holding him to account, except me.

Why does Perry get all this love from, when the team has been a fucking disaster now for three years running? OK, they seem to have had some good draft picks, but the minor leagues are still terrible, almost all the free agent signings have been disasters, and most of the trades have been meh if not outright bad.

So that's what 4/31 on Major League Moves 

You can Blame Arte, I'll blame Perry. It's fine to have different opinions. Obviously Arte is a bit of a problematic owner, but as I said earlier I think the Sale goes through in the offseason, especially if Ohtani goes elsewhere.

I might give him 4 more signings rated as OK, those being Tony Watson and Steve Cishek, Michael Lorenzen and Gio Urshela.

I don't think Arte is the Majority Owner next season.

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.
