Hasn't quite finished totally destroying the franchise.....and I've always been pro-Arte, for the most part....

and to me, it would make the team substantially better. 
But I don't know man, the baseball people in the front office wouldn't trade Ohtani because they thought they had a chance to make the postseason and liked their chances at retaining the superstar, yet most of the players knew all along he was gone. 
The disconnected from the people down on the ground and those in the front office is mind boggling.

We STILL lost the trade!

The team hasn't had a winning record in a decade and so far this off-season, they've done nothing but sign a bunch of relievers.  If that is a "plan," it sure seems like a shitty one.  I've seen zero reason to trust that if he has a plan, it's a sensible one that will result in a positive outcome for the team.

Since Stoneman left, the only discernible plan I can make out has been whim signings of shiny toy FA’s, with a lack of commitment to development, at least until recently with Perry. You’re welcome to educate me otherwise.

That would imply he has one

Sports reporters need to walk that fine line. 
They can't be stupidly optimistic (Roger Lodge). These guys get access, but they can't be taken seriously.
Blum goes too far in the opposite side IMO.  He has now found himself alienated. 

He has unfinished business boys. 

He won't. 

I still think Bellinger ends up back in Chicago with the Cubs. 

Can we also ban (if you haven’t already), all Ohtani references in screen names or avatars? I’m not bitter, it’s just time to move on.

Sorry son, Ohtani highlights aren't allowed on this forum. Find another place if you want to jerk off to Ohtani accolades on the Dodgers. 

For me this year I leave DH spot open. Do not want to sign someone who is just a DH. 

How is this related to the Angels Hot Stove? You trolling.
I may have to add an addendum to our Code of Conduct that no Shohei Ohtani highlights are allowed here and could result in a ban. 
Save that shit for Dodgers Nation .com
 

Sano is another reason I do not sign DH type Soler or JD Martinez. 

I get that way of thinking, but for me personally, I'm at the point that I'd rather just see what the Angels own guys can do this season, rather than take a chance on marginal veterans that might get something back at the deadline.  Unless there's some sort of big signing/trade (or multiple ones), I personally still think pretty much everything has to break right for the Angels to truly be in contention.  If it's a transitional year, I'd rather watch mediocre results with guys who might actually have a future here.  I totally understand others might disagree, though.

You'd think that would be the "smart" thing, but...

How would signing Snell  and Martinez make Rengifo and Drury back ups?
