Mike Trout has some words towards MLB Network for what they think of him being only the 39th best player in Baseball right now. I mean, he has to play at least 120 games first, something he hasn’t done since 2019.
Zips top 100 prospects is out. Only 1 Angel on this one.

How good is each team projected to be anyway? Well, Fangraphs has a chart out now that breaks it down in the 4 main areas, IF, OF/DH, SP, and RP. And the Angels are in the bottom third in 3/4 of them.

Mets owner is really mad about his attendance numbers. I mean, they were a playoff team in NYC and somehow the Angels had better (paid) attendance. That’s bad.
Speaking of those attendance numbers, it was mostly up in 2024 over 2023. 18 had more fans while 12 had fewer. Of course, the Angels are a part of those 12.

Justin Turner is still not retiring. He will be a Cub now. 1Y/6M.
Vlad Jr will head to Free Agency in November and will want to be on a winning team. Welp, so much for that.
Speaking of, it will be expensive as he and Tucker will be the only Free Agents that are in the top 25 in FWAR the last 4 seasons. Everyone else is locked up for at least 5 years.
Manfred is insisting that the A’s in Sacramento will be fine and that they will have that Las Vegas stadium built by the 2028 season. Construction hasn’t started yet.
