It's a head scratcher. The only thing I can think of is that they want Thaiss to continue to get starts at catcher. -

I would like to see Stefanic get a look also. He has hit at every level. The timing is now with Rendon out but maybe when rosters go to 28. Mayfield is out of options but not the worse thing. -
Grading Minasian's First Trade Deadline
Angels Fan Forever replied to Second Base's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
Yeah, I think keeping Calhoun and then not opting in on his $14M extension was the right thing to do. And maybe keeping Raisel is also. We don't know the return Minasian was offered or what Arte demanded. It was reported that Arte had to approve any deal for Iglesias. -
Grading Minasian's First Trade Deadline

True. None of us know what Arte and Perry discussed and what direction Arte gave Perry. But, as the guys who get paid to do this said, trading Iglesias would have signaled giving up on the season. This is only my opinion but I think Arte's ego is hurting this franchise. But what are you going to do, you can't trade the owner. Can you? -

I hope they re-sign Cobb. I think Iglesias and Cobb were not traded because there was not a market for Minasian to get MLB ready payers in exchange that would allow Arte to save face on this season. This was all about Arte I think. His intellectual and emotional makeup does not allow him to accept failure. And a rebuild of any sort is accepting failure. So we continue to be stuck in the middle. Thanks Arte!! -

Slow your roll kid. Maybe take a nap. -
I think the negotiations are over as of yesterday or maybe today. Either way, what a mess for the Mets. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlb-trade-deadline-why-front-offices-are-frustrated-with-2021s-late-draft-and-julys-compressed-calendar/

Yep. And I read Boras does this with all his high level guys. He does his own independent MRI's and medicals. He shares any negative results with the teams. Some of us should slow our roll here...

Minasian should plug Sam Bachman into the closer role next year for $570K instead of the $14M it would cost to re-sign Iglesias. And then stretch him out to be a starter in 2023. This gives us more financial flexibility to sign or trade for a TOR starting pitcher. SP's - Ohtani, (TOR addition - Gausman, Stroman, Ray, etc.), Sandoval, Detmers, Barria, (Suarez/Canning). BP - Bachman, Chris Rodriguez, Mayers, Yan, Wantz, Warren, Junk, Selman - internally and/or bring in other key guys. Lineup - (1) Fletcher, (2) Trout, (3) Ohtani, (4) Rendon, (5) Walsh, (6) Upton, (7) Marsh, (8) Stassi, (9) Iglesias October baseball in 2022!!
