Don’t. 

No Cole
No Strasburg
No Wheeler. 
What an awful offseason. 

1) Then Arte shouldn’t say he’s all in.
2) How can the Yankees outbid us when their whole team and rotation is better than ours, their team is best in the AL, and we need an ace more than any team in baseball?

Boras screws the Angels again.

It’s all quantity over quality, like usual. I remember last off-season people were dancing around about Cahill and harvey and how cheap they cameYou have to spend money/assets to win games, folks. 

Nuts to Arte. So much for him being all in and actually being about winning. He’ll always be second fiddle because he looks for bargains on has beens. 

Yep. It was a lot of fun winning the 2009 WS while the Yankees sat at home with all their expensive players.

No one has called him cheap. He's just full of shit.

Lol that Pujols contract has been killing us for years and you still wanna go out and give 324 mil to a pitcher till he’s 39! Yea... we totally blew it... accept that we didn’t. 
 
That kind of contract sinks a team!

This is it. If you’re already offering that much, how do you come up short to a team with better pitching and a better overall team? We had the need and offered less. Incomprehensible. 

"Local man negotiates for the best salary he can get. More at 11."

Seriously, I'm so effing pissed. We need starting pitching and both Cole and Strasburg are gone.
Way to f-ing go Eppler. Enjoy the unemployment line next winter.
Ok ok ok..... Harsh. Let's see what he does. But right now, I'm really effing skeptical he can turn this shitshow around.

I recently allowed the new Twitter function to follow groups to use  and follow MLB and they retweeted a fake Passan account, FML!
So sorry!!!!
I am in punishment cage!

That’d be cool. Kawhi style. 

Hope not. If the Angels front office think that, they’re fools. 
Morosi has always been dumb as a box of rocks. Who would these 3 pitchers replace? Ohtani, Heaney, Canning, or Bundy? If they sign Cole, that’s five guys. Incomprehensibly stupid.

What is it with people and Bumgarner? 
5.29 - That’s his ERA in 85 innings on the road last year. 
4.97 - That’s on the road in 2018. 
This guy is a #4. Take him out of the NL and SF and he’ll turn into a pumpkin. This is Jered weaver all over again. 

They are 100% tight lipped. 
This guy wasn't an Angels fan, he's probably some dude that leaked info he got from the Giants, or a source close to the Giants. 
He said the Angels are OUT on Cole, which is FALSE. Predicting Price to the Angels is like saying the Angels are in on every decent starting pitcher available. 

To me, losing Cole means ending up with a handful of secondary pitchers. That turns us into the Twins of 2019. A good regular season team that will probably get swept in the first round. If we make it that far. I think we need that clear number one, and there’s no other guy like that.

Heyman hasn't tweeted Cole, Yankees, Angels, Dodgers in 45 minutes. Hope he is ok

Only reason I wonder is when Maddon signed, Arte was quoted as saying going over the luxury tax is unlikely. That could have changed, obviously. I hope it has. 

Yes on everything except the last part.
This is simply a move to reduce the total amount Moreno pays in 2020 (and 2021 to a degree). Whether they go over the tax or not is certainly still in question but this is an all-in season, of that I have absolutely no doubt and they are trying to go super big but like everything else in life nothing is guaranteed. Think they will get there though, we are in the right position.
