Which is, sadly, why randy Wynn never retired as an Angel.

The only one that did was the random dude who made an account here, and said "would you guys trade aybar and newcomb for simmons" and we laughed at him and told him he was an idiot.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 
Hope you all have a wonderful day with family and friends and that you're thankful & grateful for so many things.

It certainly does feel slapped together.

Likewise Kevin.  This year has really sucked in many ways.  I’m thankful for family and friends (AW included), and for those who have been personally affected by this virus, who lost loved ones and friends, know that there are many who are keeping you in thought. Have a great holiday weekend everybody.

Downtown San Diego existed before Petco park went in. Right now Nothing exists except Angels stadium and a parking. But this deal seriously just sounds like they want to put all these maps get it all agreed to by the city and then flip it for someone else to incur all these costs of building it. I don’t know how or why this is a 25 plus year deal in the works. 

Exciting stuff. Ducks will be the first ones to get things completed and Angels will be right behind them 21 years from then. Should be exciting times. 

Price for pitch?  I’m  being sarcastic but you know I’d love to add pitching, although 31 y/o gives me pause

Reading some of the trade proposals people on this site come up with, it seems like some of you think the Angels are the only team other teams can trade with.  The bottom line is that if you want an elite player, and aren’t willing to put together a package of elite prospects, some other team will and the team will never improve

They can do it...
Lindor $21.5M
Heaney $8M 
Contracts swapped Angels would only add $13.5M to payroll. 
This leaves $16.5M to spend so fine then…
Renfroe $4.3MM
Tanaka 3yr/$39M (13MAAV)
Takes us right around the target.

dammit.  I hate scrolling down with the hope that someone hasn't stolen my comment only to find that they not only did so but delivered it in a much better way than I would have.  

More than anything else, I want to see Minasian start to build his system and find under-the-radar guys who become significant contributors.
As fans, it is easy to search for the big names and say yes, let's sign Cole, Bauer, etc .. and all of that is fine and good, but where guys like Friedman, Anthopolous, etc make their money is their ability to continuously find under-the-radar talent and have them play tremendously roles in their team's success.
Eppler struggled mightily with his one-year free agency deals, but he did actually hit a home run with his trade for Bundy.  It remains to be seen if Bundy can sustain that level of success, but hopefully Minasian can find someone like that, too, and help build this team further.
