Angels vs. Rangers Gamethread

The media knee-jerk reaction is that we lost Ohtani, so we better do something to replace him immediately or else we’re completely dumb and the whole offseason is ruined.
However, it is very unlikely that we are going to reach the playoffs this year, even if we sign someone.
So having a year of development, seeing what we have, and trading away assets at the trade deadline may be the most prudent approach for this team, even if it means we have a crummy season. That includes not paying top dollar for a pitcher who isn’t really an ace, and will cost a draft pick. And instead spending wisely next year when there are better options available and we are more sure about our core.
