I still like my 4 player acquisitions of Snell, Bellinger (or another OF Bat), Bieber, and an infield bat like Anderson or Rosario.
Add in a back end reliever and call it an offseason.

Yea, and I am not even talking about a franchise player to play along Trout, I was more thinking about just a dude with power. I hate the idea of bringing on a DH only guy, but Martinez would be a nice addition. 

I’ll take the over, on everyone except Rengifo, I think that his power numbers are a bit high.  I also think that the games played numbers, specifically for the OF’ers are a bit low.  This team is overdue for some good health.

Who haven't they named? Just Bullpen Coach, right? Assistant Hitting Coach? 
Manager: Ron Washington
Bench: Ray Montgomery
"Offensive Coordinator" Tim Laker
Hitting: Johnny Washington
Pitching: Barry Enright
3rd Base / Outfield: Eric Young Sr.
1st Base / Baserunning: Bo Porter
Infield Coach: Ryan Goins
Catching Coach: Jerry Narron

Angels still need two starters, two bats, and at least one back end bullpen piece. 
 
My choices: 
Snell & Bieber
Bellinger and Turner
Hicks

Only 9 teams have made significant moves. Only 4 of these have made more than one.
Dodgers, obviously are winning the offseason with the Ohtani and Yamamoto signings, plus the Glasnow trade.
Rays obviously are on the other side of the Glasnow trade.
Yankees did add Juan Soto.
Diamondbacks added a pitcher, E. Rodriguez, and a hitter, L. Gurriel Jr..
Giants added Korean Outfielder Lee.
Braves made a bunch of weird trades.
Blue Jays re-signed Kiermeirer and signed IKF.
Tigers added Flaherty, Miller, Chafin, and Maeda. Lost E. Rodriguez.
Royals added Lugo, Wacha, and Renfroe.

I know Bellinger is gonna cost, but at this point, if you're trying to be competitive in Arte's last years of his 70's, he's pretty much the only option.
MLBTR's projection was 12 / 264. That's 22 per season.
I'd do it. Yes it's an investment, and yes he's an injury risk, but, even at 10 years I'd do that number. 
Blake Snell was at 7/200, which is 28.57 per season. .
I'd do it. Yes it's an investment and yes he averaged 5.2 IP per start last year, but he was also a 6 bWAR pitcher last year, and is an elite ace. I'd also...
Sign Marcus Stroman to his 2 year 44 M projection.
I may also keep a 6 man rotation, and ask my guys to go 6 1/3... The pitching philosophy the last few seasons hasn't been good, and the guys we have aren't used to running out there every five days. With Snell, Stroman, Sandoval, Detmers and Canning, Anderson ..a 6 man rotation means 27 starts each. And you have Silseth perhaps over Anderson, or you can trade for more offense somewhere else.
Perhaps you can get Jonathan India or someone like Cronenworth for Anderson, Rengifo and a prospect pitcher.
Alternately, I would consider bringing in Shane Beiber instead of Stroman.
But they need to start making moves...Snell and Bellinger are both Boras clients, but get it done. 
 

It's not. He's got a .323 OBP in his career, and .301 and .280 OBP the past two years. In Texas and NY in 2021, he did a .351 OBP but that was when he was full time, 38 HR, 213 K and 111 BB.
There are better options. 

Wow is it really that high?

And he maybe hits .200 if everything goes right.

Nope I was dead wrong. 

That’d be cool, but it’s not happening.

Correct. Enough people complained that they were paying too much for sports stuff that they never watched that most cable/satellite providers moved RSNs, etc to a separate tier to make active users foot more of the bill.

Yes, I know what it is.  No, I'm not going to say the exact amount.  Ha.
And, yes, I know you can get it when you opt in/upgrade.  That's my point: it used to be offered as part of the basic package, but it no longer is.
 

Marisnick is a steriod user, an ass hat, and a cheater. He was the forefront of the Astros cheating scandal and should've been banned from baseball, but our clown of a GM thinks this is a good deal?
Fuck this guy.

I love that you're talking to me like I'm a child who doesn't know anything about this.  I'll just again say that some of your numbers aren't really accurate and leave it at that, as I can't fully reveal how I know. 
We can keep going back and forth and getting nowhere, but at the end of the day, I think we both agree that, regardless of the hows and whys of it all, traditional RSNs aren't long for this world, and the revenue that will replace the MLB revenue generated by RSNs won't come close to replicating it.

You don't know that the Angels aren't an appealing destination to baseball players.

I remember the 1919 scandal. That is year Joe Jackson bet and lost his shoes.
