Wherever this subject applies, bump it there. I couldn't find where to put it. I never thought the Brewers would trade away Burns, but they did, and the Angels prospect ranking is the worst in baseball, so you see my point. The bottom line: the Orioles are the best team in baseball by such leverage, so share the love!

First of all, Rendon is looking like that Silver Slugger 3B, again! Staying healthy, he's a pure hitter! I'm a strategist, seizing the moment's opportunity, and have pointed out in the past, the caveat with a team holding DEPTH. A team holding a key piece to such a team's puzzle in pursuit of a World Championship, holds leverage to get more value in return with tapping into it. (Look at what the Brewers had already done with Corbin Burns, follow suit with Reid Detmers by the game's Lefty that he's looking now. II's the Angels chance to bolster their base). Forget about Jackson Holliday (1) and Gunnar Henderson, but focus on others, it's STACKED! For any team the Orioles could go after for that top notch SP, the following positions by their players pool they can currently leverage with to get it, and vice versa. Overall current MLB prospect ranking in parenthesis before the season began: 3B: Jordan Westburg, Coby Mayo (28) OF: Cedric Mullins, Colton Cowser (19), Heston Kjerstad (30), Anthony Santander, Kyle Stowers, Connor Norby 2B: Connor Norby 1B: Santander, Ryan Mountcastle, Kjerstad, Mayo C - Samuel Basallo (17) P: Cole Irvin LHSP, Dean Kremer RHSP, Cade Povich LHSP, Chayce McDermott RHSP, Seth Johnson RHSP With Kyle Braddish returning for them, I'd be looking between Coby Mayo, Connor Norby, Heston Kjerstad, Cade Povich, Chayce McDermott, Seth Johnson, and Cole Irvin with Trumping Detmers as part of a deal. Mayo, Kjerstad, and Norby, especially, by their present logjam. Seize that moments opportunity!

Bump the topic to wherever it needs to go, I don't know at this point. I always admired him at that great gritty ballplayer, teammate in the dugout, that he leads by example, just the overall report and ambience to that setting. I'm hopeful he would accept to be the Angels next Manager if he'd be willing. P.S. Maybe Baggs might join in with him.

I'm impressed by him despite he's 31 y/o. The Angels should go after him for their bullpen to add to Bachmann and Joyce that Manasian is forming nicely

You can't tell between them side by side in those pics. Those guys can sit in for each other at events! Bump the thread onto another topic if you want to.

Trade Sandoval to KC for Perez, then allow KC to trade Sandoval to the contender. Suck it up, take Perez (and his salary into is career remainder). They're yearned for the Bengie Molina-type catcher, and Perez is it. Melendez is ready to replace him in KC.

https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-trade-deadline-candidates-on-the-rise Davies in there, 6.5 back of WC, Rendon out for the season. Still, they need some sense of direction at this juncture while it just sux watching the usual season after season.

Bump? Don't know how to navigate while I haven't been in here for awhile. Zac Gallen asks for too much, but Davies might be an option. Although, I can't figure the direction of this team right now, given their inconsistency. Still, if they might be vying, and want to bolster for some kind of direction under the current contractual conditions, Davies might be a good one to put into their rotatation.

Look, I don't have time for this, I'm usually too busy to put this into my workaround with everything throughout my day. But it is trade deadline and I'm throwing my 2 cents in. To win a WS, you need the Horse compliment added to Ohtani and Sandoval (for the matter at this point). Bundy, Heaney, and the rest just don't cut it. Mad-Bum, indicated by his outing for a porous team (shades of 70's Nolan Ryan), that guy I'd want in the rotation!

Mad-Bum's contract runs out after 24. 31 y/o now. His Cot's line, 20:$6M, 21:$19M, 22:$23M, 23:$23M, 24:$14M limited no-trade protection: may block deals to 5 clubs You're comparing Heaney to Mad-Bum, AngelStew?! How the rumors may surface over Mad-Bum by the deadline says it all!

Woh, there's one that's going to die alone. That elephant remembers from 7 years ago!

We have J-Up back with Trout and Rendon to follow, and by that time the Angels are, unequivocally, the best lineup in baseball. Yes they are, better than D-Town even, there, which Arte absolutely loves! So they have to be buyers for a key SP by the deadline. They have Pujols falling off the books after this year but I'm sure he'd like to put that money into Ohtani on a lifetime deal by that point. Who else is falling off the books? By Cot's Baseball Contracts, factor after Pujols 30 mil, Fowlers 14.5 mil is falling off, Cobb's 15 mil. Mad-Bum fits right in!

You would have, too?

Maybe pluck Tom Hamilton from Cleveland radio and ask him to take TV, pay 1 and save that way? Heck, I would!

For whatever reason, but the temporary return maybe turned out to be in sympathy for Don, rather, too. Dave Sims of the M's is among my favs, but likely unavailable. Whether $ might be involved that Arte decided that he no longer wants to pay for 2, Vasgersian has ended up a Catch-22 puzzler in the mix that he should only go with 1 to begin with.

I would have taken Bedner over Bachman

I don't have all day, it's based on overall perspective. Weigh the pros and cons since his arrival beginning from the 2016 season. He's seemed to work the pipeline pretty well! Not necessarily FA: Ramirez (before injury) Robles Buttrey Bundy Andreise Parker Pena Cons: Harvey Meyer Bridwell Cahill Patience, as he finds the pieces here and there to assemble with.

Got to trust Epp. He knows his pitching, knows something about the Red's organization after Jose Ramirez picked up a few seasons back from there.

A grade iii sprain can aggravate forever. He never fully recovered last year. You lose your snap if you don't have your big toe. you're basically swinging from the heals of your feet. People take toe injuries lightly, but not the big toe! You lose that and you lose your footing, basically. He's starting to come out of it, though, as good things are ahead for him, I think! He just turned 33, but he's in the prime of career while his bat speed slowed way down; because of the toe.

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/08/rangers-red-sox-have-discussed-rougned-odor-nathan-eovaldi-trade.html Eppler should get in on Eovaldi, if he can?! He's valuable! He'd have to try to angle for the supplemental deal over 17 mil annual (till 2022), though, that would require a player under the Red Sox control, right? Any contender would want Eovaldi on their staff!

Do any of you have any idea what kind of a toe/foot injury J-Up suffered last year? Regardless that he returned after it, he was forced to shut it down about the same time as Trout last season, Sept 10, granted the team was out of it. He just couldn't return fully to form. Understandable. Imagine running barefooted with snapping your big toe upon impact and how that splits the foot, inside. Well, that happened with him in a shoe, somehow. He suffered a Grade III sprain, and he's lucky enough that he didn't have to have surgery with the x-ray negative then. Consider the part of the body that takes forever to heal with all the weight pressure on it regularly, straining, that is the foot. https://www.thefantasydoctors.com/mlb-inj/what-to-make-of-the-justin-upton-toe-injury/

1. Keep focused with the current offense, as is. (Upton's a gamer, he'll bounce back in a big way, give the guy a break who's been trying to shake off that weird injury since the 2019 beginning). 2. Who wouldn't want a Ryan Yarborough or Nathan Eovaldi type added to their pitching corps? Reinforce it that way, and take a page out of TB's book from last season. Clubs that aren't solid atop w/ their SP can win w/ solid arms for the middle (versatile at SP). Focus on the underscore. 3. Adell needs more work, still too green, send him back down to work on some things with the bat. Like, try easier.

If they keep Rengifo then trade LaSella. If they keep LaStella, then trade Rengifo. Who out there on the depth needs IF w/ some P, RP, or RP/SP in exchange? The Braves, I think: Send Rengifo to them for Tyler Matzek

I opened that other thread on Wed late night not even knowing that the article had coincidentally been earlier the same day. I'll look over this, for now

Are you getting smart again, dude?! Geez, Andrelton goes by Simba and Dre. "Come on, man...are you a junkie?!" (To quote Mark Levin, [if that was Donald Trump] "that would be the end if it!"
