I grew up a Yankee fan.  This was in the days of them not being very good at all. CBS owned them. They were terrible.
Then one day a group of millionaires headed by a man named George Steinbrenner bought the team.  He's know for spending money no doubt, but also big on shaking a team up.  He did so and they were successful again.   Lately they haven't but I'd say they have a better organization from top to bottom than Angels.
Once Arte sells, and that day will come eventually, the Angels will be on their way to meaningful change.   As far as shaking up the team, Ohtani possibly leaving, Trout being moved and gutting the coaching staff, might just be a shakeup that is needed that can help in the near term. IMHO
What say you ?

Its a tough call.  Replacing Nevin is something to consider, but as Swordsman78 mentioned, who do you replace him with?   Melvin or Bochy provided they are available?  Someone that was part of the team with some experience maybe Erstad ?  Bud Black I think would be great but he's not available.  I mean there are others, but there is no easy answer.

Good points made about Perry being on the last year of his contract.   Can't have the GM and manager be in "Limbo", and expect other free agents to "commit" to an organization that isn't committing to the GM and manager.
At the very least Perry should either be extended or replaced now.  I would prefer that he is extended for another 3 years.   (Same with Nevin).
Once Perry has a 3 yr commitment, he can focus more long term regarding turning the franchise around.  A legit goal would be to make the playoffs within 3 years.   Then reevaluate Perry after 3 years.

Once Ohtani leaves, we'll pretty much be at rock bottom IMHO.  
Our ownership is the running joke of baseball.  Our only star level player is 32 and on the backswing of his career.  Our farm system is perpetually one of the worst in MLB, and we got rid of the only real top 100 guy we had for the walking corpse of Giolito.  We have a rotating stockpile of #3/4/5 starters.  Our position players are all middling to slightly above average, with no real standouts outside of some possible glimmer of hope for Neto/O'Hoppe/Schanuel one day turning into something.  But they are all still big question marks.
Like Stradling said, I just find other things to do and gradually care less about the Angels.  I follow other sports, hockey and NFL are coming back around.  Play some guitar, hang out with my wife and son, drink some beers and enjoy life.  

Signing rendon to an extension just to set the major league record for payroll/IL ratio.

My mistake Erstad is the proper spelling.  Thanks for pointing it out.
That's a really nice picture of you.  Is that from college??

If there going to do something like this, definitely get Erstad involved. IMHO

Start a 9th inning rallly, Grichuk!!!!

man obviously luis is a little freak of nature with those guns at his size, but he hit that hr near the middle of the bat nowhere near the sweet spot (POWER UP) and it got out no doubt!!!

Rengifo with the go-ahead HR!

luis crushed it but just a hit well from the announcer...jump in Gubie THAT WAS HUGE

Wish Ohtani could hit like Rengifo -- for today. 

Definite Met centric broadcast.  I grew up in New York. I hated the Mets.   Spare us Please.

A little small ball is good for the soul.

yay at least we manufactured a run...ugly but productive !!! too bad squid didn't hit it 1 yard more to the left !!

Very nice play. 

He could if they keep walking him

Damn you, @Jeff Fletcher!
