    Angels losing their 2nd rounder to the Mets leaves me to believe that the Angels will lose Iglesias. Basically gave his money to someone else and will collect a pick so it all equals out.

    That's what i'm thinking. I thought Thor would hands down accept the QO, but this is interesting. Makes me think Minasian and Arte have something up their sleeve. No way they will say this is the Ace they wanted since who knows how the arm will be.

    Makes me believe the Angels have something else up their sleeve.

    I was up for a trade with the Marlins if it involved one of Marsh/Adell, but seeing how much of a risk Upton has been has me scared to trade one of the boys.

    I actually thought the same thing. Make it a Tigers' reunion tour and let their leadership carry the rest of the rotation.

    Agreed. Ohtani likely fits the #2 role, but it'd be nice to add higher than Matz. If they take the run at Scherzer then I'd take a gamble with Thor. Or settle with Scherzer/Stroman

    Matz is okay with me if that means we take a run at Scherzer. Still leaves me worried for the rotation.

    This is tough.... too tough. The Angels need a top rotation arm. Is Ray that durable guy that you'd trust to take the ball in a game 7 situation? I don't think so. It boils down to Scherzer or Verlander. If Arte wants to open payroll a bit the do it, but only after pitching is taken care of. If it is then.... Sign Scherzer, sign Freeman and trade for Meyer so the 2nd arm is making league minimum. But that's an almost impossible scenario and it doesn't even address the bullpen or who plays shortstop.

    Has anyone else thought that maybe using our 6-man rotation would actually help guys like Scherzer and Verlander? Could give them a little more rest.

    If the Angels made an offer then I wonder what it would have been. Doubt they wanted to go 5 years.

    Doubt the Angels are in on Canha. Even hard to see the Angels wanting to give Lorenzen a rotation spot considering their need for top rotation arms.

    Not a FA till 2025, will be 26 years old for the 2022 season and only costs $2.5M next year. Sign me up! Only concern is that shoulder.

    The only downside is we say this every year. And I 100% agree with you. A few years back I thought Cole was the guy they'd open up payroll to. Arte has always said he'd push through the tax "If it's the right player, in the right situation, I will do whatever". Me response to Arte is this-- "If it's the right player": If signing someone like Scherzer or Verlander (after filling other holes) puts you over the tax, then these are the right players. "In the right situation": Your situation coming up is Trout is now in his 30's and Ohtani will need to be given a reason to want to stay. Need another reason? Look at your dwindling fan attendance. Worth $3.6B and now owns developing plans for the platinum triangle which will increase your net worth substantially. Either get it done or get out.

    "I wouldn't rule us out of anything" to me sounds interesting. Yes, it likely means nothing, but it also could mean the payroll increases this year. From what I recall, I can't remember a recent time where our GMs have said something along those lines. Could mean open words, or could indicate Angels being aggressive for multiple high-end pieces that they could say "fell into our laps".

    Not sure when Ken Rosenthal talked about the Angels being especially interested in Stroman, Syndergaard or Alex Wood. But any news is cool.
