So sweeten the deal and Angels take Maeda providing some of their bullpen depth.  
who in the Angels bullpen or system ranks with Graterol ?  Would that be too much?  
rengifo and xxx for Pederson, Stripling, and Maeda seems like a win? 

Years of losing by adding two top of the rotation arms?  please explain how the staff as currently manned (with Adell in the future) gets you to the playoffs long term?  Unless Adell and Marsh can pitch, nothing changes 
 

Sadly, when a franchise that needs pitching opts to NOT draft pitching for YEARS, it’s pretty difficult to rely on a young crew coming to save the day any time soon.  If it’s NOT via free agency (and we know it’s not now)...you trade.  
 
If Adell gets you Clevinger - you  do it...if Marsh plus gets you Gray...you do it.  This club is meant to win now...or next...not in five years!  Already wasted Trout’s contributions the last half decade.  
 
Adell could be the next Braandon Wood...no one knows.  I’m willing to risk for a couple of top rotation guys.
suck it up...and do it Eppler!

Seriously? I would trade Adell for Clevinger straight up if the Indians wanted to make that trade. One guy hasn't proven anything at the big league level while the other guy has been an outstanding starting pitcher at the highest level for a few seasons now.
