I hope the Angels end up with Snell AND Monty, just to watch the irrational Boras hate projections that fly here. What is it that makes him so disliked? Getting the best deals for his clients he can (umm that’s what they PAY him to do)? Getting his clients Diva perks on the road, like suites (umm that’s what they PAY him to do)?

Please help me understand. I want to be a 8-year old on the playground calling Scott a “butthole” (BorASS) so I can be clever like everyone else. Of course HH and this site continues the childish obsession with ASS, does it not? TexASS A’ss, et al.

Snell has now posted a foot so either he is sharing a fetish or he’s putting his foot down on an offer and not signing.

Whole lot of smoke around us signing Snell.

Seems some kind of announcement is imminent.

Are you favor of a Snell signing (It’s his contract + a compensatory draft pick or some such shlit).

It all depends on the contract details.

I find it hard to see him coming here without a long term commitment, which most of us would likely be unhappy with.

He’s gonna want to be paid like a Cy Young winner for the next 7 years.

Not my money 🤷🏻‍♀️

No chance he gets 7, might even be tough to get a 5. You got to honesty ask yourself, does he put the Angels deep in the post season?

If he was willing to cut the years I think he’d have signed by now.

I don’t understand how that question, “Does he (literally ANYONE) put the Angels deep in the post season?” when the Angels had literally the best pitcher and best hitter in the MLB for the last 4-6 years (whatever it was) AS ONE PERSON and wasn’t able to get them to the playoffs. I’m sorry, it’s probbaly the late night beers, but there’s no one who I think the Angels could sign this year to make me think they could make the playoffs, let alone go DEEP into the playoffs. Trout’s presence (ha) the lasrt 15 years hasn’t done that, why would Snell (or anyone else at this point?) do that?

It was Shohei and his mom Yoko Ono. Not all his fault.

So many teams would do that deal so if it was on the table why choose us?

He posted this 👆🏻 on IG, meaning eyes out west? Still not much new seeing as most rumors have had us, Giants and Mariners in the mix. If he does sign here I hope it’s not CJ Wilson 2.0

Good, hope Snell will sign for a shorter contract, 3yrs. Then go get Bauer for 2yrs.

If the Angles are, as they organizationally claim, are always in win now mode, this is 100% the move to make – though Montgomery & Bauer make more sense IMO.

I won’t pitch a bitch tent if it’s Snell…::or no one.

I’m more focused on seeing this potential core of kids play an entire season. Come what may.

For an organization that needs to retool the 30th ranked farm system, hard to watch another compensation get handed over to another team, again. Makes Monty more desirable and I think will have a better success moving forward. .

Bauer will be in the Independent League. Maybe the Milkmen.

Well, signing Snell makes Sandoval or another pitcher trade fodder for a prospect or two.

Why? Sandy is still more valuable than a prospect or two (at this point) and we need depth at MLB level as well as in the farm.

There has been alot of criticism about Perry taking all pitchers in the 2021 but Chase Silseth chosen in the 11th round maybe the steal of that entire draft.

Max Muncy? Or are you only referring to pitchers?

Pitchers primarily but Max Muncy wasn’t drafted in the 11th round. The Non-Doyer MM was drafted in Trout territory late in the first round for $2.8 Million almost $2.5 million more than Silseth.

Anyone down with just waiving Rendon?

Sure, it won’t happen. But, I can’t help but think the team is better off without him.

Especially his comments regarding situational hitting for the youngsters . I’m shocked there isn’t more focus about that in the organization (or in any other MLB organization for that matter) . and if we are going to accelerate our draft picks development we need more instruction like this on the major league level
