@Taylor, Serious question.  I'm sure you've seen the video of the actual exchange and the tweet itself. 
Do you believe the tweet is an honest depiction of the tone in that conversation?  How about the Trout interview, that video is available as well.  Pretty much everyone reported it the same way, Blum's report emphasizes that Trout adds the possibility that he'd be OPEN to a trade. That wasn't at all what he was saying but that's how Blum ends his tweet.
Not sure how anyone watches either interview and doesn't walk away thinking Blum isn't trying to paint a picture to suit a narrative.

Dylan Hernandez is Sam Blum's hero. 

I am more interested in what Rendon does, instead of what he says.

More than likely that is why Arte kept him away from his interview.

Reading what he tweeted then watching that exchange, the dude was a gigantic bitch.  He's laughing along with Rendon, he admits he answered his question, and still he tries to paint him in a way that fuels his narrative.
That was chickenshit AF.

If you can't view that exchange as anything other than Blum trying to poke at the guy, then maybe you're just a "Blum simp" and need to sit this one out. 

His barber is Sherwin Williams.

Several hitters in the lineup need to cut down on k's. Implementing a good 2 strike approach should be a must. PROTECT THE PLATE.

Main thing is cutting down the 40% K rate at the MLB level.

I'm not above using the same lame idea twice.

The most disappointing thing about the offseason is the lack of selling on our part.  The team should look to rebuild during 2024-26 (the Rendon years) and see the Trout/Rendon/Ohtani era as over.  After that payroll will be reset and we could potentially have a nice collection of young talent on the roster. Obviously Trout will still be under contract by then but don’t operate as though his production should be relied upon, just treat everything he contributes as a bonus.  Sell anyone who won’t be a key player or will be nearing FA status by 2027 (Drury, Estevez, Thaiss, Sandoval, Ward, all the recent 1 year bullpen signings at the trade deadline).

For years, the minor league teams listed a Manager, Pitching coach and a Batting coach, and that was it. Looks like Perry might be getting thru to Arte about development.

If there was ever a season where the Angels would have 2-3 breakouts from their young guys, it would be this season. 
Hoping it happens for Adell and a couple others. If it does, theres a damn good chance the Angels are playing meaningful baseball in Sept/Oct. 

If they are really interested and this isn’t just an Agent planted story, I might bet on the Yanks…
