Talkin’ Baseball @talkinbaseball_ · 2h The Angels have placed Lucas Giolito, Hunter Renfroe, Randal Grichuk, Matt Moore, and Reynaldo Lopez on waivers, per @jeffpassan __________________________________________________ WOW Holding onto Ohtani at the deadline was the latest savvy move by the Angels, no?

I swear I would go after him and let him take McPugh's spot in the pen. A guy that because he was a starter can come in and give you 3 innings, easy. He’s buddies with Max, too. That doesn’t hurt.

I can't believe that Ronald's giant oven mitt helps him steal second base a lot more than it helps him get back to first safely.
It's like when he is diving back to first, the mitt shrinks.

Eddie’s a hitting machine …any smart manager would be a fool to sit him as long as he’s smoking hot!! 🔥 glad our managers’s …oh, wait He's going to sit again tomorrow night against a LHP.
In his 11 games he's 16 for 34 with 4 HRs, a triple, 2 doubles and 13 RBI.
He'll have over a 1.000 OPS for August.
And when he sits Wednesday night it will mean he has sat in 4 of the Braves last 8 games.
In favor of a guy with a .360 OPS for July and August.
There's only one warped person's world where that would happen.

I've thought from the git-go that may be the stupidest move I've ever seen a sports franchise make. When you consider what they could have gotten in return its insane. They could have done almost a complete rebuild right there. Now to me they committed to the point they HAVE to resign Ohtani, which means they'll have to pay a minimum of $400M and who knows how much more? And what if Ohtani simply wants to play for a team that can win even if he gets less money? Really stupid move by the Angels. They weren't going anywhere even if they eked into the playoffs.

Ticket sales and TV coverage... Definitely not a commitment to being a winning franchise. Exactly but look at the spot they're in now--pay eleventy seventeen trillion dollars to keep a roster that has never been competitive, IF Ohtani is even willing to sign with them again, or totally lose his golden goose....imagine what THAT will do to ticket sales and TV coverage. I get that he would have caught flack from casual fans if he traded Ohtani at the deadline, he was in a bit of a hard place, but man it was crystal clear what he had to do......unless he's willing to cough up crazy money AND Ohtani plays along.
