Can we just have fun? I'm not telling people how to "fan" or whatever, but constant negativity is getting quite old and tired. Yes, Arte sucks and needs to sell the team. But how about we just enjoy some Angels baseball? I see probably more negativity on social media than I do here. However, it's just growing tiresome. 

I do agree with this but I dont wish him ill will. His best years may be what he has already accomplished which is A LOT. He doesnt look as good in Dodger blue as Angel red (just saying). The only time I will root for him and the Dodgers is when they are playing an AL West team or AL Wild Card team. Definitely enjoyed him while he was here. I don't think the criticism is necessarily fair that the Angels didnt match the offer...not too many teams could or should.

I also like that it's done which will help address free agency. 
 

If he does have to go somewhere....the best case scenario would be the Giants.

best case.  The Rangers win and get ousted in the DS.  The Astros ousted in the WC and the M's share a tee time with the Angels.  

100 percent.
We saw the locker was cleared out at 9:30. Obviously, the most likely scenario is he just shut it down to have surgery, and that's why it was cleared out. We asked Angels PR if they could give us a definitive answer so we wouldn't just have to leave people hanging with "his locker is empty." We waited for a full 30 minutes for them to answer before any of us tweeted anything. 
Finally, they just said: "Sorry, we will tell you what's going on tomorrow," even though they acknowledged that the gap was going to leave all kinds of room for wild speculation. 

Surprised Moore and Lopez were added to this list.

This article could have been written years ago and brought back whenever a writer didn't want to put in the effort. Jeez it is what the pundits say every night.  Great originality! 

Just win TONIGHT and worry about all the other stuff tomorrow.

I can't imagine Ohtani ever coming back if he is traded to a NL team and misses his chance of winning his 2nd MVP.

Jeez, can we not trade the players that ARE working like Estevez? It's not like we are here to help other teams make the playoffs.

• Won the game instead of continuing to tank to increase the likelihood of trading Ohtani?

The other injuries are a fact, not an excuse. 
 
Angel pitching is already sketchy, now have to trot out the "B teams" for the position players 
someone already pointed out the casualties.  Complete starting infield is out.
catcher
shortstop
3rd base
1St base

Set up guy
No team in baseball is going to survive that.

Jansen getting the nod over him was ridiculous.

The way the Angels got rid of him will not help the situation. It could have the opposite effect.

Freaking bomb. Nice little way to end the year.
Please... please...
 
Please let us get one full year of him and Ohtani healthy next year. And please get them some help

Savor the good times...hopefully it will last for more than 1 day!  Nice to remember how winning feels.

Can we all grow up and not pretend Trout quit or no longer cares?  Can we just be above that as a community? Is that too much to ask?

I hate the philosophy of let's have a fire sale when we are not going to be making the playoffs.....especially giving away pitching we will need next year (and hopefully to build SOME momentum the rest of the year).  Sure there are some contracts that make sense but it's not like we should get rid of good players just to help playoff teams.

Didn't we say that yesterday?

Well they absolutely weren’t going to win with Pujols either, so they’re kind of kindred spirits, no?

Nothing worse than walking in runs.  SO disheartening.
