Just wait until Anaheim falls out of contention and we rent Ohtani.And Bello at #3.
I was surprised to see them at two games over .500. Not that they don't have the talent, but they always seem to underachieve.Just wait until Anaheim falls out of contention and we rent Ohtani.
And I have faith that they will continue to do so because it’s who they’ve always been and it’s hilarious.I was surprised to see them at two games over .500. Not that they don't have the talent, but they always seen to underachieve.
The fact that they're able to miss the playoffs consistently while having Mike Trout is shocking. And for the last few years Ohtani as well.I was surprised to see them at two games over .500. Not that they don't have the talent, but they always seen to underachieve.
Good thing I never said it’d be cheap.Anyone who thinks that "renting" Ohtani can be done on the cheap is fooling themselves. If the Angels were to let it be known that he could be had for rental, there'd be a bidding war, even for a half-season.
I have a feeling they'll be asking for an absurd amount for him, so much so nobody will pay it.Just wait until Anaheim falls out of contention and we rent Ohtani.
That would square with how poorly run they are.I have a feeling they'll be asking for an absurd amount for him, so much so nobody will pay it.

I remind you both that we have a "power bat, two position" player in our system who'd make great trade bait: Bobby D, of course.I have a feeling they'll be asking for an absurd amount for him, so much so nobody will pay it.
I wish. The Angels wil start with Meyer and Bello and go up from there.I remind you both that we have a "power bat, two position" player in our system who'd make great trade bait: Bobby D, of course.
I'd do that if it's a sign and tradeI wish. The Angels wil start with Meyer and Bello and go up from there.
I wonder whether an Ohtani rental would appeal to a team with prospects and a realistic chance of going deep into the playoffs, but who otherwise wouldn't bid on him as a free agent. I could see the Orioles and Rays, for instance, going that routeI wish. The Angels wil start with Meyer and Bello and go up from there.
I've no idea what the prospect equivalent would be for those two (I've no doubt they both have it), but it would make less sense for a team to give up that much if they had no chance to sign him, wouldn't it? I mean multiple major pieces for three months and an extra draft pick when he walks?I wonder whether an Ohtani rental would appeal to a team with prospects and a realistic chance of going deep into the playoffs, but who otherwise wouldn't bid on him as a free agent.

Depends on how desperate ownership is for a title, I guessI've no idea what the prospect equivalent would be for those two (I've no doubt they both have it), but it would make less sense for a team to give up that much if they had no chance to sign him, wouldn't it?

We always say that in the first three inningsHouck still looks to me like a guy who can become a legitimate starter with another pitch in the mix
Maybe Stu Sternberg would go for it to beat Cohen to a title.Depends on how desperate ownership is for a title, I guess
Maybe the bad inning will be the second insteadHouck still looks to me like a guy who can become a legitimate starter with another pitch in the mix
Throw him in with Meyer, Bello for Ohtani.Casas is useless.
Nothing if he goes fishing for the sinker.Trout up with bases loaded. What could go wrong?
The Brewers getting CC Sabathia comes to mind. Everybody knew the Yankees were going to sign him that offseason, but Milwaukee went for it.I wonder whether an Ohtani rental would appeal to a team with prospects and a realistic chance of going deep into the playoffs, but who otherwise wouldn't bid on him as a free agent.

Exactly the sort of deal I was thinking. Good callThe Brewers getting CC Sabathia comes to mind. Everybody knew the Yankees were going to sign him that offseason, but Milwaukee went for it.
Trout the only guy not seeing him wellTanner “Houdini” Houck
Did they give up a lot? I assume so, but I don't remember.The Brewers getting CC Sabathia comes to mind. Everybody knew the Yankees were going to sign him that offseason, but Milwaukee went for it.
