Angels have fixed it take 70 million to work with. I’m ok with them throwing out the current lineup if we can grab a good starter to round out the group ($20 mil) and then focus the rest of the money ($50 mil) to build a dominant bullpen. What we have so far is not the answer and Estevez is more of an 8 TB inning guy to me. How many leads have we blown over the last few years when our starters do a decent job and the pen just falls apart. I think this has always been a weakness for us and have never understood why this has never been addressed. Money is there, I say do it.

It’s been a few days since the news and no word that the Angels are on to anyone. If anything the Angels should be more aggressive with the remaining FA field if they are truly not in rebuild mode.

Anyone out there get the sense after the Ohtani announcement that aside from some small moves we are done this off season? Not hearing many rumors that we are involved with any of the remaining FA out there. Is it possible we were misled into believing we aren’t rebuilding when this was all the while this statement was 100% tied into Ohtani staying? Our current team has no chance to hang in the West or wildcard for that matter unless some serious holes are filled and I just don’t get the sense it’s going to happen. Thoughts?

From Cincinnati.com earlier this year: Packy Naughton, LHP, Chattanooga Pitching at Daytona and Chattanooga this year, the 23-year-old lefty had success at both levels. He’s posted a 3.43 ERA in 27 combined starts, striking out 124 and walking 34 in 149 ⅔ innings. Naughton, MLB.com’s No. 13-ranked prospect in the organization, was a ninth-round pick in the 2017 Draft. He had a 2.99 ERA across his first 15 starts at Chattanooga, but he’s allowed 14 earned runs in his last 14 innings.
