  1. Very excited for this news and the possibilities. However, should we be concerned about how this could potentially effect the off season? Will the sale happen quickly enough to where we can have a no restrictions free agency? Or will this impede Perry from having the type of off season we need? It took the Mets about a year to sell. The Nats announced their intent to sell this April and its now August. Hope we get resolution sooner than those timelines.
  2. When was the last time the Angels gave out a contract theat had opt outs? It doesn't seem to be something they do. I think a 7-8 year deal for 245-260 is the sweet spot.
  3. I'll say Suarez. His success last year has been over shadowed by Sandoval. If he can contribute at the same level, or even improve, over a full 2022, he would be a huge boon for the team.
  4. If Castellanos does end up with Philly, causing them to be up against the CBT, it is one less likely destination for Story and Correa. It feels like its down to 4 teams for the two SS. Angels, Astros, Twins, or Cardinals.
  5. The Braves gave 35 year old Cole Hamels a 1/18m deal in December 2019 which Makes the 1/21m deal for Thor seem like a bargain. I like this for the Angels. We haven't signed a FA SP with this much upside before. We are only 2 weeks into Free Agency. Many more moves to come.
  6. I would guess this is a lost in translation quote. Same with his quote about wanting to win. It is probably much more flattering in Japanese than the direct translation to English.
  7. Earlier this year Maddon left Ohtani in against the White Sox with the bases loaded and when asked about the decision at the presser he said he left him in because, "that's how a guy becomes a guy". Extend the same curtesy to Canning...
  8. Good teams go through bad stretches. The Astro's were swept by the lowly Tigers and Rockies and lost 2/3 to the Mariners. Does that make the Astros a bad team? The Angels were playing great ball at the start. Then we lost Rendon, Stassi, (SP) Ohtani, Lagares, and Fowler all within a week of each other and it started to catch up to us. On top of that the schedule was flipped on its head with weather and COVID postponements. I realize these are excuses but it's ignorant to think that these conditions hasn't had an impact on the record over the last couple weeks. I still believe this is an 85+ win team. With some good health and some savvy trade deadline deals, we will make a run for a postseason spot.
  9. It is also telling that Fabian and Fletcher have yet to comment, either way, on Torres' article.
  10. The article has no quote from the front office. It reads like an opinion piece with a sensational title.
  11. Ohtani. Hasn't been healthy but is still a good signing.
  12. I'd love to see him in a color commentary role. Wonder if Gubi is going to stay on?
