Rosenthal On Angels, Black, Parra, Samardzija

By Mark Polishuk | July 4, 2015 at 6:46pm CDT

FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal shares several hot stove items in his weekly “Full Count” video…

  • Ex-Padres skipper Bud Black is well-liked by Angels owner Arte Moreno, manager Mike Scioscia and interim GM Bill Stoneman, and there has been “rampant” industry speculation that the Halos want Black as their next full-time general manager.  Several of Black’s friends, however, think he wants to manage again rather than run a front office.
  • Prior to Jerry Dipoto’s resignation, the Angels and Brewers were discussing Gerardo Parra and Adam Lind in trade talks.  No deal was ever close for Parra, however, and “ideally” the Angels want to add a bigger bat to the lineup.  Parra entered the day with a strong .303/.337/.466 line over 271 PA with Milwaukee, though he is known more for his defense than his bat (a .274/.326/.395 career slash line prior to this season).
  • Rosenthal describes Jeff Samardzija as “a perfect fit” for the Yankees.  Samardzija’s wife is from the New York area, Jim Hendry (the former Cubs GM who signed Samardzija) is in the Yankees front office, and Rosenthal feels the righty’s personality would thrive in the Bronx.  Acquiring Samardzija now would also presumably give the Yankees an edge in pursuing him as a free agent this winter.  This being said, Rosenthal notes that the White Sox haven’t decided to start selling yet and there haven’t been any talks between the two sides.
  • The Dodgers are looking for starting pitching depth and “don’t be surprised if they add multiple starters.”  Brett Anderson’s long injury history makes him a question mark to last the entire season, while Mike Bolsinger and Carlos Frias are better fits as depth options rather than regular members of the rotation (though Bolsinger has pitched well).  Even getting a mid-rotation starter would help L.A., though “in a perfect world” the Dodgers would land an ace like Johnny Cueto.

    Cueto is going to either LA or TOR…. TOR probably gives up Norris, Pompey, plus something else better than a filler but ideally Chapmans coming too

      Norris, Pompey plus something else for half a season of a pitcher that might be injured? I don’t think the Reds could say YES fast enough..

      I think Cueto to the blue jays make sense, I don’t see the dodgers selling the farm for a 3 month rental because the reds would prolly ask for Seager. But I have the dodgers trading for Hamels. And the angels really need to get those two deals done for Lind and possibly Parra to play left. He’s a better option then joyce, has a strong arm and has good speed.

    Braves need help in Outfield and Third base. How about a trade with the Dodgers of Julio Teheran, Chris Johnson, Jonny Gomes and Mike Foltynewicz for Alexander Guerrero, Yasiel Puig and Julian Leon.

      I read an article saying something about would the dodgers trade Puig for Hamels straight up?

          But I do believe that the dodgers will trade for Hamels , not Cueto

            Hamels is the more likely target for the Dodgers if for no other reason than they can use their willingness to spend for leverage dealing for him, and he’d hedge against the possible departure of Greinke. Cueto is an all-prospects rental who if they are interested the Dodgers would prefer to go after as a free agent. Either way, I can’t see Puig going anywhere.

            I prefer to have both if possible since the article does mention multiple starters.

    So Rosenthal is thinking Anderson’s herniated disc and broken foot are likely to recur?
