Hubs

Once again, dating back since Sven walked (or was told he was retiring)... Front office disconnect with the field of play, coaching issues, lack of adjustments by team, or, just head scratchers..
We've had 3 Managers (Ausmus, Maddon, Nevin). All look handtied at times or unsure of the situations within the game. We look at it and the outcome and say why would you do this, or that? However, we also heard rumblings there was a lack of communication within the Ausmus Group and that coaching staff and the Front Office (Not Perry's). We also, saw first hand a lack of production/adjustments made within the coaching staff and players with Maddon's Group (Yes, Perry's).
Now we have seen the motions of Nevin's group (though they all adjusted positions in the dugout when Maddon was termed) though certain aspects have been positive notably the bullpen and starters seem to be going deeper in the game (minus Detmer's start vs Houston & Mayers Start vs Yankees). Overall, either they are being pushed to go longer or are getting ahead in the count more often and getting ahead earlier in the count. Haven't watched the games. I'm just looking at the finality of outings with innings pitched. 
On the hitting side OBP has disappeared. (Trout, Ohtani and Ward aside). we don't get on base and we fail consistently in moving runners over? Is this the result of BAD BALLS in PLAY? Launch Angle? Being overly aggressive outside the zone while taking more pitches earlier in the count?
A bad team like the Tigers will skew the #'s and even the Yankees have been flailing lately but Houston is in our Division and we need to beat them consistently or even play them at .500% to have a chance at the playoffs!

I don't think a fire sale is needed.  The only long term contracts on this team are Trout and Rendon.  I do hope Ohtani joins them, but otherwise, I think we aren't too far off from becoming a contender.
It is too difficult to project a starting lineup for 2025, but rather, I think perhaps the key part is to look at which spots are either projected to be filled by who we have on the roster or, hopefully, filled by a promising prospect.
Catcher:  "Hopefully" O'Hoppe and probably Stassi
1B:  maybe Walsh, maybe DiChiarra, or if neither, then this likely won't be hard to fill
2B:  Fletcher, due to contract
SS:  Neto, hopefully
3B:  Rendon, due to contract
LF:  ??, I personally doubt Adell's future MLB abilities, so I'll say this spot is open and can be filled via free agency
CF:  Trout
RF:  maybe Ward, if he can re-discover his earlier form from this year.  If not, then this too will probably be filled via free agency
DH:  Ohtani, hopefully
So it appears OF has some work to do, but we should probably have most of the rest of the spots filled by combination of guys on the roster and highly rated prospects

Right and it makes sense. A lot of these guys are closer to the majors now than the guys last year in competition, and only Canning and Rodriguez are injury concerns.
I'd rank it this way right now.
1. Roriguez (if healthy)
2. Silseth
3. Canning
4. Diaz
5. Bachman
6. Bush 
7. Junk
8. Rosenberg
9. Toussaint
10. Mayers
11. Erla
12. Daniel
13. Davidson

With Suarez, who has been excellent since I went to the Royals game and saw him pitch live for the first time, Sandoval, Detmers, and Ohtani, the team has a solid 1-4 in the rotation. 
Who takes the 5-6 spots is gonna be the key to pitching success in 2023. 
I think they try to add or bring back one veteran starter in that group and then let a bunch of guys battle it out for spot #6.

Angelswin Oracles, 
I ask you, what is the lineup and rotation not next year, but on opening day in three years. I think they will do their best to win next season and keep Ohtani for a few more years. But you may disagree. I feel like for the first time in over a decade, they have a solid core of young position players ready to contribute starting in 2023, and 2024 a lot of new faces will be up.
2B Fletcher
CF Trout
DH Ohtani
RF Judge
3B Rendon
C O'Hoppe
1B DiChara
LF Ward
SS Neto
SP1 Ohtani
SP2 Detmers
SP3 Sandoval
SP4 Bush
SP5 Bachman
SP6 Silseth
CL Joyce

Because he lost 9 of 10 before that and he sucks in game decisions, player adjustments, and strategy. We need an experienced manager for this group. Or a long time baseball guy like Ebel. Nevin is just not good.

I'm sort of joking with the Judge pick, but the way Arte operates, I'm not totally joking. Even though he's selling the team, he may go for it one more time.
It's far more likely Adell or Calabrese, Moniak or Adams in CF and Trout in Left, Ward in RF.

I am a liberal and an environmentalist but this article is just plain stupid. The AL West is the largest geographical division in baseball, and intradivision games are in different time zones. Maybe from a standpoint of the New York Yankees or Detroit Tigers, whose longest division trips are a 3 hour jaunt to Florida and a 2 hour flight to Kansas City?
But when Seattle and Houston are in your division, you can fly three hours to Seattle and then 4.5 hours to Houston on the same trip. The solution is to do more geographical trips.
The solution is to realign the divisions, yes, by expanding to 32, and cutting divisions to 4 teams. 
The Rangers and Astros should be split into two leagues, but they should be in divisions with the Braves, the new Nashville team, the Royals, The Rockies, etc.
NL WEST - Dodgers, Giants, Padres, New Portland Team
AL WEST - Angels, A's, Diamondbacks, Mariners
NL NORTH - Cubs, Brewers, Reds, Cardinals
AL NORTH - White Sox, Twins, Tigers, Indians
NL SOUTH - Braves, Astros, Marlins, Rockies
AL SOUTH - Nashville Team, Rangers, Rays, Royals
NL EAST - Mets, Phillies, Nationals, Pirates
AL EAST - Yankees, Red Sox, Orioles, Blue Jays

I agree with you in the belief that there has been bad coaching, a lack of adjustments, and bad preparation. My point is simply that the horrible roster construction by Minasian is the biggest reason for the Angels struggles in 2022. That being said, it doesn't excuse the issues with the manager/coaching staff.

I still think Scioscia is a good fit on a three year deal. He's proven. 

This would be worse. A winning team would bring more revenue, and that would be appealing to new buyers. 
Nevin is a horrible manager, who has done nothing to deserve a permanent role.

He had them one game under in 55 games. They're losing a lot of close games, defense is terrible. Pitching decisions are even more suspect than under JM.

And I disagree. Scioscia would have this team, as is, at or near .500. Maddon probably would too.

He's 25-45. Players are slumping. Results matter. 

This would be worse. A winning team would bring more revenue, and that would be appealing to new buyers.

They have a solid foundation with Ohtani, Sandoval, Detmers and Suarez. But they need two more reliable arms, preferably 2/3 types (given that they can’t score runs). 
They also need a first baseman, shortstop, left fielder, possibly right fielder, and a whole bullpen. Lots of work to do this off-season. 

Edge: Lowell

The Real Estate is more valuable to Disney, among others, and while we can hope for a new stadium on the corner being built during the season, I doubt it comes to fruition, without 1 of 2 things.
1) a big money owner, like Ballmer.
2) a partnership with Disney to develop the land.

This would be worse. A winning team would bring more revenue, and that would be appealing to new buyers.
