Doesn't fit the clubhouse profile at all in my view So would seem to be a real about turn if anything in this

Some speculation going around that the Dbacks are prepared to trade in an attempt to reduce payroll. Could be an option for TOR for the angels ? Is this what Perry gas been waiting for BTR has him as around -49 so be interesting to see what it would take to snare him

The Astros still have a lot of quality offense even without Springer and a decent rotation and bullpen which performed well in the post season. I think they will still make a couple of acquisitions and will be strong. The A's are the A's and infuriatingly always seem to be able to put together a decent team from nothing. The Mariners have a clutch if good prospects and if they click then they will be in the mix. I will give you the rangers

And settle for 3rd or 4th in the AL west what a waste of trout Hope I am wrong but to me this off season seems like a massive missed opportunity, criminal when you think we are one of the top end budget franchises.

Walker SP Greene and Hand RP

What about Adams,Sandoval, Suarez and Thaiss ? Keep hold of Detmers

Or gray and I can see the 2021 AL west pennant on the horizon

And a shed load of possible relievers Also Archer,Paxton, Tanaka & Walker

Happy with this alongside stassi Now let's focus on some elite pitching

Adell as I feel he would get us the best return

Would certainly be open to trading adell and one or two of other prospect of's as we are flushed with them to get an ace level starter or two, would then add in any of barria,heaney,suarez or thaiss. Would also be agreeable to taking on a contract to achieve this say moustakas who could still add something. Possible trades would be gray & moustakas and contreras & hendricks,that would cover most needs. Add quintana & Bradley as fa's. Not sure where this takes us budget wise.

As long as 2 of those moves involves the angels then I'm fine, not including realmuto

Works for me, would be a solid improvement with realmuto as catcher to appease Arte

Let's be real, it's been years since the angels FO took pitching seriously...

Would have liked Castro back left hand bat and decent catcher, would have thought for not too much money.

Castro and Pederson/Goodwin sorts out catcher and OF and adds two lefties Then go all in for SP and relief

That's the problem we are in a 'catch 22' situation the opportunities appear to be there but having a weak farm system is what's stopping us taking advantage.

2 of Gray,Musgrove or Snell against Bauer I know which option I would favour,just not sure we have the trade chips to swing it...

Certainly need one starting pitcher fingers crossed a 1 or 2 either FA or trade. I would then like to see Garrett Richards back as he could flip from rotation to relief depending on how things pan out giving more flexibility and wouldn't cost the earth.

For me, if you are looking at spending the sort of money needed to get Pederson or schwarber then Kiki Hernandez is the obvious choice as he could cover the outfield and 2nd base if required.

So what do we think it would take to get Marquez ?
