Gray is only projected to earn $5.6 million next season and is under club control for two years. Acquiring Gray could give the Angels a lot of flexibility to keep improving the roster.
Marsh is pretty redundant with Trout, Adell and Upton locked up in the OF for many years. And it isn’t that hard to get an OF once Upton is gone.

Either the Tigers would be selling low (based on assumed potential) or the Angels would be overpaying. Boyd hasn’t done anything to warrant giving up the Angels best prospects. 

Eh, that seems more like wishful thinking than anything else. He’s cheap, under club control for 3 years, and may have more potential than he has shown. There’s just no incentive to move him unless a team overpays drastically.

Jeff Fletcher said that he heard the Angels have no interest in Teheran, thankfully.

4/80 (at minimum) for a pitcher who has pitched more than 127 innings in a season just once since 2015? Hell no.

Some team will be desperate and crazy enough to give him 4/80. Hopefully that team isn’t the Angels.
Just sign Keuchel and make a trade for someone like Gray and be done with it, Eppler.

Teheran’s results look like smoke and mirrors. He had a 5-6+ ERA in 3 months last season. The month where he had a 0.98 ERA, he allowed 15 walks to 19 strikeouts in 27 innings with a high fly ball % He just seems like the kind of pitcher who will have it all catch up to him eventually. And this isn’t the same Teheran from 2013-2016 regardless.

Keuchel and Jon Gray.

No thanks. Teheran isn’t the answer. And Ryu can’t be relied on to stay healthy. 

I would hope Eppler doesn’t even trade for him. He’s not the answer. 

Ray wouldn’t be horrible, but do they really want someone who only averaged around 5.1 innings per start last season and has trouble throwing strikes? The bullpen will be taxed on most days when he starts.

Gray pitched 6.2 innings or more 9 times last season (Ray did it twice) and averaged almost exactly 6 innings per start if you remove that one game that he didn’t start and got just one out. I hope he’s Eppler’s #1 trade target.

Gray would be excellent.

182.2 innings isn’t really close to 200. And the previous two years he’s averaged under 6 innings per start.

Me too. At this point, I wouldn't object to paying a steep price for him (say, Marsh and Rengifo).

They’ll probably sign Keuchel for 3 years and trade for a good starter. That’s better than 5 years for Bumgarner, who could fall off a cliff given some of his indicators.

Let's hope so

I'm guessing any team in baseball could have easily matched that package.
Cleveland knows something.
