The Angels have some interest in free agent southpaw Tyler Anderson, reports Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times (via Twitter). The 32-year-old is among the top remaining unsigned options on a rotation market that has been mostly picked clean.
That’s not to diminish Anderson, who’s coming off an alright season. The Pirates signed him last offseason, and he posted a 4.35 ERA over 103 1/3 innings there. Anderson didn’t work deep into starts, but he reliably took the ball every fifth day and posted decent results. He didn’t miss many bats or rack up a ton of ground-balls, but Anderson frequently got opponents to chase pitches outside the strike zone and make weak contact.
The rebuilding Bucs flipped the impending free agent to the Mariners at the trade deadline. Anderson had a solid run in Seattle before he was blown up for nine runs in two innings against the Angels in a late-September outing. That contributed to a mediocre 4.81 ERA during his Mariners tenure; overall, he worked 167 innings of 4.53 ERA ball last year, striking out just 19.1% of opponents but posting a stellar 5.4% walk rate.
The Angels have already signed Noah Syndergaard and Michael Lorenzen this winter, adding some upside to a rotation that could also include Shohei Ohtani, Patrick Sandoval, José Suárez, Griffin Canning, top prospect Reid Detmers and Jaime Barria. That has the potential to be one of the Angels’ best rotations in recent memory, but it’s short on reliable sources of capable bulk innings. Among current free agents, only Zack Greinke (168 2/3) threw more innings than Anderson did last season.
Of course they are lol
Beat me to it. Dumpster Divin’ Arte.
Typical angels pitching philosophy. Grab the bottom of the barrel and sign a bat. Just don’t get it. Someone help me understand lol
Anderson would be a great move, one they should have made last year. Last year he went 5 innings and gave up 3 runs or less in all but a few starts. With their lineup healthy he should get double digit wins.
Full circle maybe? The Tanana and Ryan or Finley, Langston, Abbott days had no or weak hitters. The ghosts at Anaheim stadium won’t allow both to happen together unless you fool them into thinking the’re not the Angels with new uniform colors…they’re a little slow.
You know, like 2002…
i wanted him over rodon. cheaper and, at least, reliable.

Who in the world is Tyler Anderson? You can’t make this up. If they go get two legit pitchers they make the playoffs and are dangerous. Guaranteed this team finishes no better than third.
It’ll be a great move for the rest of the division
This ⬆️
If you think Arte went to Minasian and said… “hey, let’s bring in Anderson”, you’re crazy.
No, it’s more like Arte gave him a pitchers budget. Arte does not understand the fundamentals of baseball, pitching and defense give you a better chance to win ballgames. In addition Arte should not be in charge of these moves, he should only be signing checks and setting budgets like any good owner does.
Arte spends money he just doesn’t spend it wisely.
arte is a cheapo and no matter how you defend him he is a cheapo. and, of course, arte did not tell minasian to sign anderson. but he very much likely told him how much could be spent on roster.
And if he signs Anderson instead of a relief pitcher then it’s all on Perry.
i’m not saying it’s all on arte. perry was really stupid last year.
This is so far into the weeds, I don’t think Arte has anything to do with this.
Dude, you have it backwards. Why do you think Billy Eppler is adding big time pitching for the Mets? No Arte Moreno. You think the GM is excited about Tyler Anderson? He doesn’t want front line starters? No, it’s the owner providing cash limitations. The same owner that was only one of four owners who was against raising the payroll cap. It’s the owner with every GM, my friend.
Bottom line, Anderson will get them through, until Detmers, Canning and Bachman are ready. As rookies, those three won’t be allowed to pitch a full season of 150 innings and 25 to 30 starts. Canning might be able to this year.
You want those three ready to come up the middle of the year and join the fight.
@ravero98 What is the budget? Between Syndergaard, Iglesias, Loup, and Lorenzen, the Angels have invested over $50M this off season for the upcoming season. That is quite a bit actually for a team that has ignored pitching for long time. Also, the Angels drafted nothing but pitchers. You can say what you want, but I think they identified pitching as an area of need.
Am I completely happy with this off season? No, but I think they made a step in the right direction. I agree with the writer. This has the potential to be one of the best rotations in recent history.
Having Ohtani is a blessing, but it is not without any drawbacks. You’re forced into a 6 man rotation because of his routine. You’re not going to attract the top tier aces, like Scherzer. They don’t want to be part of 6 man rotation. Secondly, you’re not going to get your value pitching them in a 6 man rotation. That being said, I believe there is value in the next tier of pitchers. I believe a move like Stroman, Rodon, or even bringing back Alex Cobb made a lot of sense.
As far as Anderson goes, I have no interest.
The Angels absolutely need a shortstop. A bullpen guy is not needed, but the Angels only have 1 late inning reliable pitcher. And I don’t count the closer.
Finally, it would be nice to add 1 more starter, but I would like him to be better than Barria, not someone who could be better than Barria. Spend the money on a bullpen guy. Not on a guy who has an ERA+ is 85 over the last three years.
No idea what the budget is but it’s obvious there is one due to the Angels not signing pitchers to multi-year contracts. Sure this year they made some moves but Thor is on a one year contract.
Your comment expresses the same reality, this organization has been ignoring pitching for years now. There’s no excuse for ignoring pitching that long. Blame anyone you like but our ex GM just landed a ton of pitching, our other ex GM is doing well up north with pitching. So…
Who know if Ohtani will stay, he wants to win. 6 man or 5 man it doesn’t matter, show a pitcher a good contract and you’ll get interest.
I have no problem with ANYONE blaming Moreno for not risking capitol on a top of the rotation starter.
But right now there isn’t one to sign, and because this farm system is so barren, there isn’t one they can acquire.
As a Mariners fan… Please do it, Angels
He had one bad game. Jerry is stupid to not be bringing him back.
He was extremely solid here in Seattle. I was hoping they would resign him
He was solid in Pittsburgh prior to that. Would be a good pick up for the Angels for a solid back end starter.
I agree. Hopefully the Angles continue their trend of refusing to sign anyone who throws the ball halfway decent or one that can stay healthy
He was solid in San Francisco before that.
He was solid in Colorado before that.
No he wasn’t, he had a great year in 2016 and sub par years after that. The Angels organization has plenty of starters that match his numbers already, as a number 5 pickup it’s fine but they need another solid starter.
If this is the only additional pitcher they get, then expect another losing season. This organization doesn’t seem to learn, horrible team ERA the last few years and they refuse to fix it.
Hopefully they get a miracle with one of the draft picks.
The Angels are overflowing with back-end starters. They need reliable front end guys.
Those types will have to come up through the system… Detmers, Canning, Bachman, etc those are the ones that need to step up and pitch lights out like #1-2 starters. It’s already known Arte won’t spend to acquire a top tier SP for 2+ years.
Stupid for not brining back a #5 pitcher? I can see it but doubt it moves the radar much at all other than giving them back of the rotation stability.
I’d like to see the M’s sign him. Dependable, but when Kirby/Brash is ready, he can be bumped to swing/spot starter.
Classic Arte move. Blow up the payroll on offense and turn into a pauper browsing the thrift store when it comes time to stock the rotation.
Classic Arte Move? Arte brings in players he can market.
Since when does Arte pay much attention to players he can’t market?
Curious how “players he can market” never includes starting pitching.
You know what’s also really easy to market? A winning team.
And that’s a fair criticism. Moreno doesn’t invest heavily on front of the rotation starters.
I don’t blame him… you do. I’m fine with that difference of opinion. You don’t need to invent things to dislike Arte.
This has little if anything to do with Moreno.
You don’t blame him for the thing he does that directly impacts the quality of the team because he shares your right wing politics. Don’t pretend like we didn’t all see your meltdown in the other thread the other day.
Moreno blocks the team from pursuing elite pitching, and it is the foremost reason why they don’t win games. Period. That’s it. That’s what’s happening. Not a difference of opinion. You’re wrong. Cope.
Sure I do. I blamed him constantly for Hamilton. I wanted Wheeler, the team didn’t even make a play and they were left without a chair in the game of musical chairs.
I certainly didn’t blame him for not spending 300 million on Cole or 200 million on Strassberg.
I also blamed him for not taking the Stripling, Pederson trade. Claiming he threw a temper tantrum. As it stands now, Striping and Pederson both sucked, but I didn’t know that them.
Some people do.
A lot of Angels haters here.
After the first two pitchers the Dodgers have ( good #2’s), overall, I’ll take the Angels staff.
Enjoy Heaney, Dodgers.
Lol, what offense did he sign?
I think he’s referring to Rendon.
candymaldonado would rather invest on pitching than hitting.
That’s a perfectly reasonable opinion.
We’re talking long term here, not this season. The last long contract he gave a pitcher was CJ Wilson in 2013. In the time that he’s signed Pujols, Hamilton, Upton, and Rendon, his longest pitching contract was a two year deal to freakin Joe Blanton, while routinely bargain hunting for Matt Harvey, Tim Lincecum, Tommy Hanson, Jose Quintana, Jesse Chavez, Ricky Nolasco, Alex Cobb, Dylan Bundy, Trevor Cahill, etc etc etc
Actually, it was Blanton. It’s a fair criticism.
I only go after the unfair criticisms.
Anderson has been a solid #4 starter all his career. Smart ran teams like Giants Pirates Mariners have taken advantage of stupid teams like the Angels and have enjoyed Anderson and his cheap salary for years. I would take this as hope your gm knows what he is doing if they do indeed sign him.
@Dream- 100% –
With the expanded playoffs Sp 4’s have an extreme amount of value tied to them now. The smarter teams (like SF Tor Lad CWS TB ) will recognize this sooner than the others
The Angels should be all over guys like Tyler. You shouldn’t even feel comfortable today unless you have 7 starters breaking camp….and at that point start seeing if you can fit in an 8th !
I think the Angels staff is underated currently but that should by no means stop them from pursuing Tyler and getting this done by dinner
Are they going to start him in the pen? Then I’d almost be fine with it except the Angels still need a guy who can pitch the 8th inning.
And if you say Loup is the 8th inning guy, then you are missing the entire point.
No, every team will be scrambling in April to fill inns
Natural selection (injs) will take care of his spot- If he himself stays healthy he logs ya 150+ and earns a profit most likely
Minasian is proving he doesn’t ha
have a clue. He already has two lefties in the rotation who aren’t overpowering.
Welp, it’s not nothing.
It’s not something either.
That’s for sure.
Why do they try to sign the least exciting pitchers imaginable?
I guess if someone needs a #6 or #7 starter, Anderson fits the bill . . . poorly.
6 or 7 starter? Do you not have access to a baseball stat site or back of a baseball card or something?
What a joke u start the off season sign good pitching now u want bring dog turd This gm a idiot too and Artie Marino sell the team please
I don’t even blame the GMs at this point. This is like 4 straight GMs not signing top starting pitching. At a certain point you have to assume the only constant, Moreno, is refusing to allow it.
Have you ever blamed the GM? Just curious.
Moreno cares about marketing…. What does this have to do with marketing?
Bavasi. Both.
It physically hurts to read that name
What point do you think you’re making exactly? Moreno is clearly stepping in and meddling with roster composition, to the detriment of the team. Marketable stars don’t mean much if they never even reach the postseason.
The point I’m making is this obviously isn’t Arte.
If you think this isn’t Arte you are an idiot. It has everything to do with Marketing. Arte doesn’t like signing starting pitchers because as a fan you only get to see a starting pitcher once a week. Which means you’ll only put butts in the seats for a good starting pitcher once a week. A position player you get to see every day. Its all about marketing but it doesn’t work because the starting pitching is so bad it doesnt matter how good the lineup is. Moreno doesn’t care at all about winning just selling Tix and Jerseys
Right… Arte is saying let’s sign this journeyman starter that no one has ever heard of so I can market him.
Arte would have a much easier time marketing the #1 LH pitching prospect in baseball, Detmers.
Arte would have a much easier time marketing local boy Canning.
AND THEY ARE BOTH BETTER.
Can I counter and say if you think Arte is behind this, you’re an idiot? I won’t say that, that would be rude. I’ll just say your hate is clouding your judgment.
There are 3 starting pitchers in the top 20 in Jersey Sales I’m not counting Ohtani because to my point he’s an every day player for the most part. That’s why he’s not signing pitchers because they don’t sell Jerseys that is Marketing. Arte is 100% behind this. DiPoto has come out and spilled it all that Moreno handcuffed him when it came to pitching same way Manaisin is now and previous GM’s to DiPoto. It’s obvious and has been confirmed
I have no problem with anyone who says Arte is the one behind not signing big money free agent pitches.
That has nothing to do with this move or with the Claudio move.
This not a good move. He’s not good. Hasn’t been good for a while, is unlikely to be good this year, and he’s going to take up a spot that should go to a better pitcher. It’s the Claudio move all over again.
In a vacuum, there is nothing wrong with adding depth. However, giving this guy a roster spot is insane.
GET AN 8TH INNING GUY AND A SHORTSTOP!!!
If this pushed Lorenzen into the bullpen, cool.
But this is really meh at best.
Lorenzen wasn’t signed to pitch in the pen. He wanted a chance to start. That’s why he signed with the Angels.
People are not strat=o=matic baseball cards, they are real life human beings. I can’t imagine Lorezen starting the year in the rotation.,
If Lorenzen gets lit up in ST, and other guys like Barria and Canning pitch strongly, then I do think there’s a *outside* shot that he starts in the pen. But I’m willing to bet that he’ll end up in the pen, at some point in the season, just like Quintana, Cahill, et al.
Spring training is so short, it’s going to be irrelevant.
He’s going to open the year in the rotation.
if he pitches four inning a start and gets absolutely lit up each time, while multiple of the younger starters perform well above expectation, he might find himself opening the year in the pen
I know and the Angels need to honor their word and give him a legitimate chance to start.
That said, adding a back end starter and moving Lorenzen to the bullpen would make sense.
It makes great sense. But as I said, this isn’t strat-o=matic baseball.
The Angels have to keep their word.
i concur, halosheaven.
TF?
Don’t do it, Arte. Be patient. Wait for the slap on Trevor’s wrist and make the Trade at a discount.
Ohtani-Thor-Bauer-Sandoval-Lorenzen.
Arte will NEVER bring in Bauer.
Honestly Ohtani-Thor-sando-Detmers-lorenzen-Suarez isn’t awful
Their rotation has a chance to be pretty good. I like Canning as well.
They need to find a reliable late inning guy to pitch the 7th or the 8th, depending on the Loup matchups. And they need a shortstop.
I would have loved to add a starting pitcher other than Lorenzen. But I think that ship has sailed.
Roll Eyes. Is he any better than Canning or Detmers? What the point.
The Angels need a shortstop and one more bullpen arm. Not a guy who doesn’t miss bats and can’t keep the ball in the ball park who hasn’t been good in four years.
Do people really have confidence in Minasian? Really?
Angels GM runs his team like I run my fantasy team. It never works out for me either.
As an Angel fan this would be more of the same. We have stockpiled 4-5 type SP for the last several years. None of the SP, and I’d include Tyler Anderson, would be considered “bad” SP, however a staff cannot be anchored nor led with nice serviceable pitchers. Stroman, Gausman, or Rodon would have pushed the team forward.
Artie sell the team u don’t want win
I think I’d prefer Greinke, although he’s a bit of a strange cat.
Greinke for one year would be an Arte move.
Save the money and go ahead and sign Story.
It will be just another typical Angels year, hope we can stay healthy and have a great offense this time round.
Maybe we hit the lotto and the rotation and BP actually work out?
I think Greinke would be an interesting sign with Joe Maddon in house. Their conversations would be worth recording. That being said, I think Greinke is going to cost too much for what he’ll bring to the table.
For me, the more the merrier on the pitching front. The real problem is when they run out of arms and then bring up their young guys too early and mess with their confidence. The Angels missed out on some decent arms for sure, but they have to stockpile serviceable arms because the staff is anchored by Thor and Ohtani (who pitched a ton last year).
Get some major league pitching depth, even just decent arms, to protect the bullpen and the young arms in the system.
I agree with that
Angels are making other teams better by bringing on the pitchers they hit off.
Hope they don’t get him. Reading Angels fans comments on how awful he is I want them to miss playoffs again.
Are you related to him? What’s next?
“hey, if it wasn’t for the Angels scoring 12 earned runs in 3 and 2/3, he would have been OK last year?”
He’s one of the big reasons the M’s didn’t make the playoffs.
Just a fan. 15 starts 5 innings or more. 3 runs or fewer. Out of 18 starts with pirates. If that doesn’t impress you then fine. Stats even better except he didn’t have his stuff but had to man up because the Pirates bullpen was well the Pirates bullpen. Worn out over used. Hope nobody wants him and he comes back to Pittsburgh. Trade him at deadline for a couple lotto tickets.
The Angels need an 8th inning guy. Then I have no problem with him being the long man out of the pen until a spot opens up.
Do you think he’ll take that deal? The Angels are better off using the money for someone who wants to be in the pen. Not a starter who hasn’t had an ERA+ under 100 since 2018.
ERA+ the last 3 seasons. 85.
Lol.. You’re no angels Dream Gm, but right on this. Anderson has had a quite serviceable career and the Angels or any team could use this guy if he’s still the same styled pitcher that got him to the show.
Suarez earned a spot. Detmers and Canning are going to start the year in the minor leagues because Baria doesn’t have any options.
The Angels would be bat crap crazy to have this guy in the rotation instead of either Detmers or Canning, and they ‘d be idiots to move Barria to the pen for this guy.
If I was your gm you wouldn’t have had half a dozen of the worst contracts given out in the history of baseball.
Then we also wouldn’t have the 3 billion dollar TV deal. Or the Vlad deal.
The Tori Hunter Deal, The Iglesias deal. Trout would be gone. And there would be no chance we’d resign Ohtani.
Unless of course you are saying you know which deals are going to work out. If you claim that you are full of it.
Angels were able to sign Pujols because of tv deal. Tv deal isn’t because of Pujols. 1st contract for trout yes. 2nd maybe, but only because of marketing and pr. Not for baseball production.
I hate all mega contracts unless they put people in the seats. I love Harper. Ok with trout. Hate Betts Lindor. Like Franco because young. Even though Tatis is Young too was too much money for me to approve. I am right 90 percent of the time. You can go back in 5 10 years see how well I did. Or look at the history of mega contracts. I don’t love any except Harper and Franco. Cole looks to age well but I still don’t do it.
How do you know which mega-cotract is going to be good.
So no Trout and no Ohtani.
History of mega contracts.
No 3 billion dollar TV Deal, or Hunter, Trout, Rendon, Ohtani extension, Vlad..
Got it.
Imagine how many people would be calling Arte cheap then? Wow…
No you don’t got it. 3 billion tv deal is from the growth of baseball and mega tv market. Big free agents are easier to get because of the large market tv money.
Absolutely no Rendon. Probably Trout but only because of his legacy and being marketable. Ohtani tbd. I have no idea what his demands are.
No it’s not. The amount was a direct result of the Pulojs deal.
You can spin that another way, but that contract had everything to do with that TV deal.
Tv deal negotiations began long before Pujols was signed. Pujols was signed after tv deal was signed.
I know from someone who knows. I know for a fact that Moreno is not sorry he signed Pujols. I have asked that question.
You can believe what you want, but I know differently.
You don’t get that contract without Pujols.
original deal was for $2 bil but added $1 bil after pujols was signed.
I don’t know what the original deal was for, but I know for a fact it was worth more because of the Pujols signing and I know for a fact that Moreno never regretted signing Pujols.
I won’t disagree with the owner liking it. May have gotten more with being able to tell them they were signing Pujols. Certainly good pr and marketing. Demographics say they would have gotten near that amount with or without Pujols but I can see them getting a bump from it, even paying for most or all of Pujols. Still that contract is history. Doesn’t cover Upton Rendon. Would prefer cole over rendon. I like Pujols and trout over all those. Pujols put people in seats and Trout keeps them their. Upton Rendon not nearly as much. They were already coming to see trout.
All I know is they don’t get that 3 Billion dollar TV deal without Pujols. I know other things that I don’t talk about, but I know that 3 Billion dollar TV deal had to do with Pujols and I know Stripling and Pederson didn’t come to Anaheim because Moreno’s feelings were hurt when there was a delay.
By feelings hurt, I mean acted like a two year old child. I don’t ask my source a lot of questions. But I do ask the occasional question.
@YourDreamGM Thank you, Captain Hindsight.
Your hindsight is always on point.
31 5 inning starts is worth something even for a good team. I wouldn’t mind the Yanks grabbing him at all.
If we sign Freeman then fortifying our rotation with him would be just fine. If it’s Rizzo, I would like to see us aim a little higher.
Why so Freeman hits 30 home runs and we lose games 9-7 instead of 9-5 just like last year? Freeman or Rizzo ain’t gonna make up for the utter awfulness that is the back 4 that rotation
Uh.
Last year our pitching carried us. We ranked 6th in MLB in ERA. Conversely, our “offense” finished 19th in runs scored. That was the problem. I guess I don’t really understand what you’re saying here.
Taillon, Montgomery, & German are all proven above average starting pitchers. & Cortes outpitched them all, bro! With Sevy coming back & some kids showing well in AAA (& the bigs) I don’t see the categorization of “utter awfulness” as valid. At all.
We shouldn’t sign Freeman because he hits home runs? Guess I am forced to disagree with your take.
We have a guy who was an All Star who had arguably better stats than Freeman last year and is considerably cheaper than what Freeman is asking. Jared Walsh is going to be the best first baseman in the league in a short amount of time and is already in many peoples opinion a top five guy. With Ohtani we have one number one a questionable number two with Syndegaard and a bunch of number fives that doesnt cut it. The Team ERA for the Angels last year was 22nd in the league. That is awful as a said. Upper fours is awful in the big leagues I dont care who you are. SO dont wast money on a guy like Freeman when you have Jared Walsh who has stats are comparable if not better to Freeman. Thats common sense.
angels are interested in anderson? why haven’t you just signed yet? just sign ryan tepera and minasian is forgiven for last year’s utter stupidity.
The Angels routinely use 10+ SP every season. Adding Anderson to the mix means depth options like Packy Naughton, and Dillon Peters before him, don’t get starts. Stated differently, Anderson as a SP4-7 is an upgrade over the SP10+ option that just got moved back another slot. And that’s a good thing.
If they are starting him in the pen or in AAA, then I’m fine with it. Is that what they are doing?
This is the same Claudio mistake. Depth is fine, but if the depth is worse than what you should have added, or what you have, what’s the point?
Even if the Angels add Louis Castillo today, Anderson will be among the 10+ SP to receive 4-24 starts for the Angels this season. Those are starts that will not go to a Packy Naughton type SP or his equivalent.
Having said that, all Angels fans would love to add a TOR SP, a nice BP piece like Tepera or McHugh and a SS. Anderson will not prevent any of that from happening.
I would love either of those two bullpen guys.
Anderson’s ERA+ over the last three years is 85. Bad starts count for every pitcher. And he has more than his fair share.
This is not the guy you hand a rotation spot to, and since he’s always been a starter, this is not the guy you make earn the spot.
He’s not the right guy. He’s too inflexible. Get me one of those two pitchers and have him earn a spot by starting in the pen. However, that’s not going to happen.
Unless the Angels acquire a TOR SP, I agree that Anderson will open in the rotation. He would probably replace Barria as SP6 with Canning, Detmers, Bachman, Bush, etc starting the season in the minors. Barria, who is out of options, would be a long reliever out of the Angels BP. Under this scenario, Anderson would hold down a spot until injury or ineffectiveness creates an opportunity for the young guys listed above. This will allow the Angels to monitor the innings of their young SP and give them a few months at SLC to fine tune their repertoire.
I would have preferred to resign Alex Cobb.
Sad…
Who is Tyler Anderson? My God this is pathetic.
other than rodon’s walk year anderson has been a better pitcher. more reliable, too.
And he’s been bad. Are you guys the same people who were excited about Claudio.
This is not the player the Angels should be a going after…duh!!!!
wrong! i knew he wasn’t great but told you to wait and see if they were going to sign better ones.
What you didn’t realize, which I did, is the move didn’t make sense. I told everyone why the move didn’t make sense and people didn’t get it. They still don’t.
it was earlier than that. since i have once check the article appx. 6 months ago and you were just angry.
Because of the Angels top heavy position player payroll, it appears to me that they are attempting to build a cost controlled rotation and bullpen drafted and developed from within. Thor, Anderson, Lorenzen, etc are placeholders until the young arms are ready. Several are arriving now like Sandoval, Suarez, Detmers, Canning, Bachman, Bush, etc. And more are on the way compliments of recent drafts including last years all pitcher draft. It will never happen fast enough for MLBTR Angels fans, but the Angels appear to be on the right track… finally.
Until the younger guys are ready? Really? By the time all those guys are ready Trout and Ohtani will either shells of their former selves or demanding to be traded.
The younger guys are much better than this guy now. ERA+ of 85 the last three years
he was hurt in ’19. he is going to be more reliable #5 or 6. i wouldn’t mind him as long as tepera or some good relief pitcher is signed.
You guys are really going to go nuts when Seattle lands another pitcher.
let’em do depleting their prospects! you have arte to defend.
a cheap owner and dumb gm are making fans eat each others’ flesh! perfect combo!
Moreno spent 50 this off-season, how exactly is he cheap?
He’s an owner that is seldom the highest bidder in long term front of the rotation starters. Get it right.
As far as dumb GM. Very possibly true.
Ok angels fan how many of u are sick this team cut corners .ok look a shortstop all kind player out there but no they want bring in yankee Retread and try plug-in player that can’t hit .now the pitching staff Arte Moreno just show me he don’t want win after this year he has not starting pitching it so hard to be angel fan
well, another year of moreno’s type of team and trout and ohtani asking for trades.
Angels should have gone for Stroman or traded for Bassitt.
Angels need to sign Jansen to be the setup man for Iglesias.
Sign Matt Harvey, and Bauer.
Sign Freeman.
Trade Upton, Adams, Walsh can play right field. Marsh and Adell play left field.
Sign Kris Bryant for 2nd base, Fletcher to SS.
# MakeAngelsGreatAgain.
Janson is going to sign as a closer. They could have signed Stroman, and they Angels don’t have the system to trade.
I’m still annoyed the Angels’ didn’t retain Cobb.
