  1. No idea how the hell we get one of these guys vs any other team bidding. Perry would need to be creative/aggresive. Sandoval, Detmers, Ward, Moniak, Silseth, Dana, Adell and Paris are the only names that bring "value". Question is, how far are you willing to go? Majority of those players you kind of need..... unless they do something else. Trade one of Sandoval/Detmers/Silseth for a top arm then make hard push for Yamomoto?
  2. I'd expect tomorrow to be the same as people start heading home. I know it's a long offseason, but they'd help grow the game if they can have more of an NBA/NHL free agent week.
  3. In hindsight, is Ron just confirming that the've been asked by Ohtani's camp for everyone to stay hush hush? Maybe that's all this meant.
  4. Either that or Roberts is doing his classic "choke when it matters" act.
  5. It's obvious and it's not the players holding up to see $ amount. It's the other teams waiting for their next course of action. If he comes back to the Angels then suddenly the Blue Jays and Dodgers fire to the trade market. Also why the Angels haven't made moves yet. They're waiting on Ohtani.
  6. Leave it to ABC7 news to show the most detail regarding the Angels. They're the onyl people that have openly said the Angels feel confident in retaining him...... No writer really knows at this point. HA.
  7. Angels look like a sleeper team. That would be spicy seeing them get both.
  8. Perry sounds a little too bullish on Stassi and Rendon. Just hope they aren't blinded with their decisions heading into this week.
  9. Ohhh right..... So basically it will go from a massive slap in the face to a hard slap in the face.
  10. I was hoping Ohtani would sign before the Winter Meetings, but it seems like that won't be the case. Here's hoping the next few days are WILD.
  11. Biggest concerns: Starting Pitching Bullpen Third Base Left Field Right Field They need a lot to compete.
  12. Ohtani will get a truck load of cash, but I don't think it comes down to the highest bidder.
  13. The Angels have been much quieter this offseason than the past few. If I recall, they were making ML trades/signings before the Winter Meetings the last two years. I wonder if this has to do with their "Plan A, Plan B, Plan C" wondering the outcome of Ohtani. I would have thought they'd try and get those supporting deals done so Ohtani can see improvement. Time will tell.
  14. Agree to disagree. Teams absolutely can offer better prospects, however, I don't think a lot of them are willing to take on a contract like Yelich's. Obviously, the Brewers would retain some of the cash, but i'd be curious to see who's actually willing to take that kind of money. Dodgers could just offer straight prospects for Burnes and barely scratch their farm system.... Sadly.
  15. Offseason Plan: Sign Ohtani: 12yr $552M = $46 AAV Sign Jordan Hicks: 3yr/$15M = $5M AAV Trade Rengifo + Kochanowicz for Shane Bieber = +$7,200,000 AAV Trade Silseth + Dana + Adell for Corbin Burnes = + $14,100,000 AAV Gets you just shy of the $73M before hitting the tax. IDK.......
  16. Dude doesn't have many years left to live so I hope winning is beyond making money at this point. He's already made plenty of money, hasn't won much.
  17. No one will say exclusive because anyone talking about it is full of shit. Just their cute way of saying "disclaimer in case i'm way off". But yeah, i'm a tad hopeful too.
