Warfarin

I don't really know enough about Autry to comment on him in particular.  I just know why people don't like Moreno - he is not a baseball executive, and he is doing his organization a tremendous disservice by telling those who he has employed to run his operations which players to trade for, sign, when to reject a deal, etc.
Arte's role in this is to set the budget and tell his GM how much money he has to spend in various areas (MLB payroll, player devo, etc), and in turn let the GM he has hired make the personnel decisions.  The reason Arte is disliked is he has (apparently) overstepped that boundary in many instances, which has led to Rendon being signed, trades being nixed due to taking too long, etc.

Yep.  Already he has essentially plugged up really difficult to fill spots (SS, C) with his draft picks and trades.  
I have referenced it before, but the Braves have had a fairly low farm system ranking for years now, but they have likewise aggressively promoted Strider, Harris, etc.  Minasian seems to take a similar approach as his former boss - promote players rapidly when you feel they are ready.  The byproduct of that is your "system ranking" is poor, but who cares?  If you are promoting young talent that is able to stick to the team, then great, that's success.
Neto, O'Hoppe, Moniak, Silseth - we are seeing guys drafted/traded for, promoted, and becoming solid contributors already.  Joyce and Mederos might soon join that list, given how aggressive the FO has been with their promotions as well.
Ohtani's future obviously will have a huge impact on us, but I think Minasian is a really good GM.  More than half of his signings/trades seemed to have panned out, and his player development process seems really good.  

I would probably keep Silseth stretched out as a SP.  He seems to have turned a corner and is pitching well.  Maybe as we roll into September, we can transition him more to relief, but I think you need to have someone stretched out and capable of making starts in case of injury.

he's also promoted a shitload who are basically sticking on the team, even if they're playing the shuttle game due to usage and injuries. he's going to do more promoting too with schanuel. i don't really care what the farm system looks like if most of your first rounders are playing on the team and others are contributing. the angels problem is injuries.

Hard to say exactly, but I am guessing that his boss told him to push for it.  If Arte is telling him to trade what he can to contend, he has to essentially comply, right?  And this was definitely a sellers market.
As I said before, I think trading Quero hurts, if anything because I think his value was higher than what we got in return, but I also don't think anyone was traded that will become a star or really good player, either, with the exception of Quero if he ends up being a good defensive catcher.

JMO, but I think Perry is far more adept at developing talent than any of his predecessors.  Time will tell, but I think even though our farm ranking is "poor," more of these guys will turn into good players than would have under Depot or Eppler.  I think Perry has assembled a strong player development team.

A lot of our farm system was dumped during this trade deadline.  Most (not all, but most) were from Eppler's regime.  I am thinking the current FO and player devo department has a different take on which prospects to keep and which to trade.
We'll see how this ultimately turns out, and how good Perry is at determining who to keep and who to trade.

So - I expect Leone will take Mederos' spot on the roster once he arrives.  Not sure whose spot he will take.. maybe Rendon will go to the 60-man IL?  We'll see.

Took a deeper look.
It appears that since May 23, subtracting just the one bad outing against the Cheaters in mid-June:
21.2 innings, 11 hits, 29/9 Ks/BBs, 2.10 ERA, 0.93 WHIP
Maybe he stopped throwing the cutter so much?

Agreed.  I think he is more likely an MLB player than Adell is, simply because his defense, speed, and plate discipline should be enough to at least make him a 4th OF.  I think he has some more potential than that, and I see him as someone who was really hurt by the wiped out COVID season and injuries, as he was very raw and needed a ton of reps to improve.
Looking forward to see what he can do.

Absolutely.  He had a fantastic July and looks like he is showing good amounts of growth.  Should draw walks and play very good CF defense.  Worth some starts, IMO.

Adams should fit the current roster needs well.  He's a great defensive CF who can pinch run late in games.  We are a bit short in OF depth, so having him enables us to switch to a more optimal defensive configuration in the late innings.
Stefanic wasn't really doing too much for us and barely played.  At least this way, we have someone who can serve a greater function to the team.

This is my takeaway as well.

I am guessing the FO didn't see Jackson as a MLB player of any kind.  That, to me, is why they would trade him for a decent but unspectacular reliever who will be a FA at year's end.

I don't think losing Jackson is a big deal.  I think the other prospects we traded had more value than he does.
