It’s too bad that outside of Milwaukee and Arizona that none of the playoff teams need a shortstop.
I’d be willing to listen on Simmons for the right price if we got back a couple very solid prospects to help fill holes. 
It’d open up the shortstop position and I’d make Machado a priority in free agency to pair with Trout for possibly his final 2 years. This way if Trout leaves, Arte still has a superstar he can market, in Machado.
Seeing what the Rangers got in return for Darvish last year doesn’t give me much hope we’d get much for Richards. 
However, all of this is pretty whatever if the Angels aren’t willing to deal with the literal elephant in the room in Pujols. I just don’t think this team can contend with Pujols being in the middle of the lineup everyday. I’d really like to see them sit Pujols asap and call up Thiass.
This isn’t a very easy/cheap roster to clean up, we really need some young guys who are under control to step up.

I'm sure that's what Eppler is looking into right now.  Since I haven't seen any "WTF?!" trade rumors involving Angels prospects and rental vets, I'm going to assume he's still looking at opportunities but won't be trading Joe Adell for Wade Davis anytime soon.

Well I’m just saying F the standings. We had a lot of bad luck this season so let’s just start building for next season and beyond. Forget about chasing the Mariners this season. Eppler should just fold earlier than normal and get a head start on the future. There are players on the current roster that are not part of the long term plan anyway so start moving them. Why wait?

This season is toast so they should just start making some bold moves now that will benefit the future rather than trying to salvage 2018. 

I picked this up for @SuperTroopers at last nights game. I certainly don’t want you to lose count.  You’re welcome.

Some of you guys are still watching these games?

follow the flow of the conversation. I specifically quoted a post and catered my response to that particular message. 
and lol @ you commenting on someone else not specifically addressing an OP's message. 
being promoted to a FO position after a long stretch as a manager, coach, etc. in the same organization happens all the time. I've never heard of someone being offered a FO position in this type of scenario turning it down because of injuries on the roster or a bad bench. 

Well Scioscia is in the same situation that Girardi was in last season. His contract is expiring and he simply won’t be retained so what is the question again? It’s not like Scioscia has a choice in the matter.

I think that we’ve kinda hit the hurricane eye of the storm. We have some older players that will be transitioning out and a few injuries that need to heal. We have Trout’s contract extension looming. It’s going to happen eventually but not as fast as we’d like.
