LA Angels Thursday News Crash: Little Help

Here is a little help for the people who are sinking under the sticky post constellation. Biggiswrth’s IIWPM. Here’s Gitcho’s IIWPM. Who’s next?

Raisel Iglesias is rejecting his Qualifying Offer. I guess the Angels might gain a pick to make up for the one they lost over Syndergaard.

Meanwhile, Justin Verlander will go back to the Astros for $25 Million plus a player option for a second year at $25 Million. At least the Angels didn’t make that deal.

Mike Trout follows more than just the weather. Congratulations to this week’s top hitter in the AFL, Buddy Kennedy, who is also from Millville, NJ. Get a load of Trout’s offseason hairdo.

To nobody’s surprise, the Angels designated Junior Guerra for assignment to make room for Noah Syndergaard on the 40 man roster. Meanwhile, Noah Syndergaard passed his physical. There’s no going back now. Charge!

Marcus Stroman is not afraid to antagonize the Yankees fan base. Here is his take on why the Yankees haven’t won a World Series since 2009. “Durags, dreads, and tattoos ain’t going anywhere cuz. Lol”

Not only did the Guardians lawsuit settle, but now the lawsuit over the Phillie Phanatic settled as well. Is one of the Skaggs lawsuits next? While we are on the topic of lawsuits, Bubba Harkins is appealing his loss in his suit against the Angels.

Carlos Correa is not interested in going to the Marlins is my takeaway. The Yankee-centric media, of course, make this all about the Yankees.

Billy Eppler’s new contract will apparently be for four years. Details are still being finalized as of the time of this writing.
