It appears that at least Jake Eder is among the players going back to the Nationals. Further details will be forthcoming. For the moment it does not appear the Angels will be sellers.

Not that we care about him anymore but Sho just got pulled after three innings with some sort of injury
Would be sad for him and baseball as a whole if he’s hurt again, but also suck it Dodgers
Checking it out!
Says he’s still in, as DH
Pulled from pitching mid-AB*
Got to assume that if he’s still hitting though it’s probably not serious
Like TJ at seasons end while still DHing for the rest of the season?
Angels flashbacks!
The three-time MVP expressed discomfort Wednesday in the top of the fourth and spoke to the Dodgers training staff and manager Dave Roberts briefly, covering his mouth with his glove, before being pulled from the game. The two-way star kicked at the mound while talking, but what caused the apparent discomfort was unclear.
Pretty weird. I’m currently in Chicago and I’m guessing the games starts at 8 pm here. Not 8:38?
Meanwhile, trading for Garcia and Chaffin does feel like Perry wants us to think he’s doing something. All we have to offer would be Detmers, CMo, Jo, Ward. The only way any is moved would be if Perry panics.
I’m ok with no moves although blah blah blah we already know who has an expiring contract. What’s Jabari Blash doing now? His name came up in autocorrect when I typed blah
Chris Carter made a cameo in Angel camp 2018 in a picture I saw yesterday. His last year playing was 2017.
somethings never change
What is the point of picking up 2 guys over 35 now? Unless they are moving others, I don’t get it.
And I don’t mean Eder as someone moving:.
Only way to get an over 70 grade return.
Some teams gonna sell a boat for Mason Miller…..
Mets get Helsley too. Baez was the guy the Cards got that I wanted if we matched up with the Mets. Robots say Cards win this one 4.7 to 10 with the kid Elissalt and his sub 1.0 WHIP thus far thrown in as a non-factor.
The Mets seem to want to win a WS. I just want them to beat the Doyers.
Trade Anderson, Ward, and Kikuchi. We need young SPs, make way better decision FA signings in December.
BTW for those of you can’t seem to accept that it’s no longer 2007 and still think Mariano Rivera is pitching….it isn’t. 🐂 still are irrelevant.
Jhoan Duran. I would take two guys like that for Jansen. Quick ly.
To Phillies for Tait and Abel.
That’s a good get for the Twins. IMO, to get a young starter for a reliever is a win
Mets making moves.
I would love it of Jansen was nearly as valuable as Duran
Duran isn’t a free agent until 2028 and he’s making less than half of Jansen’s salary.
“What’s your point?” – Halo Honk
Not to mention he’s better.
So would you take that for Detmers? Sounds more similar

@ByRobertMurray
The San Francisco Giants are receiving Blake Tidwell, Drew Gilbert and another player from the New York Mets for reliever Tyler Rogers, according to sources familiar with the deal.
What would Kenley’s price be?!
a couple of 45-50 FV prospects.
Kenley is our most valuable trade chip.
I’ve been saying this for weeks. It seems to have caught on over the past few days.
One of the greatest closers ever having a traditionally good year.
The rub is that he’s also taken over the leader role for this team.
Which tough guy on CtPG wants to tell Kenley we’re trading him?
“I like this group of guys and I want to be a part of this. I want to be a part of helping turn this franchise around.”

“It’s a business. I can’t control what (the front office) controls. I came here with one mission to try and help turn things around here. I play this game to win. It’s not in my hands. Hopefully we add but it’s something that I can’t control.”
https://x.com/TaylorBlakeWard/status/1950437854334898501?t=ZpkuSBZJH357ChUSJaUmEQ&s=19
“It would be disappointing if we don’t make the playoffs.”
https://x.com/TaylorBlakeWard/status/1950437904674693139?t=A2Yhb3lkQtjGiKNAMaf0HQ&s=19
I would tell him if the pieces coming back were good, young, and controllable.
A young Jeff Bagwell or a young John Smolz
Larry Anderson and Doyle Alexander if I recall correctly. Great, great trades.
What’s funny is Alexander killed it for the Tigers that year, got em into the playoffs.
Taylor Ward is, somebody will overpay for a guy like him who never had a big year like this year.
Never overpay for a one year wonder.
Doesn’t look like the Giants got a good return. Gilbert looks to project into a 4th OF.
If we traded Jansen for these kind of players I’d be pretty upset.
The Giants were smart and got two guys who were likely to NOT be on the Mets 40 man sooner than later but still have plenty of potential and Tidwell. they took the best of a team’s young sale items. We’d be smart to do the same with Philly…. oh never mind….
Giants won that trade 0.2 to 26.8 according to the robots. So yeah, let’s hope Jansen’s even more overvalued… though he won’t be because he’s paid a lot more.
And we aren’t gonna trade him because he’s got moxy and we are in it baby.
Perry loves relief projects… like Shores and Snead and anyone else who *might* pan out
These have to be fillers. So it’s Ward or Adell – and one of the pitchers. Clearly this isn’t going for it.
Why would we bother adding any veterans to the pen unless we are at least “letting em play”? This is going for it. Can’t you feel it? would it help if we extended Jansen for 2/40?
Maybe we can pick up Jamie Moyer and really make a run?
Rich Hill is available
To young
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Because tomorrow we are subtracting veterans from the pen.
We did it boys. Third place and the best seat in front of the TV for the play offs belongs to your 2025 Angels! Now we can finish meh and our boys tender little feelings won’t be crushed by the team “giving up” and, yuh know, building a team that is good. We even kept that key piece none of you bitched constantly about, Taylor Ward. What’s really cool is next year we can get Eder back for him along with a couple 40 grade 4th OF prospects once his value tanks.
Arte. Unfinished business? Almost done bruhz!
Let’s go!
So much layered sarcasm/irony here I can’t pull apart the flavors. We didn’t get much, didn’t give up much. It’s fine!
Bingo. This trade signifies nothing in the big picture, frankly.
Minor transaction on the margin.
What I need to know: Did Perry at least try to include Rendon in the trade so he could relive his glory days back in Washington?
Who?
Ok, maybe it will work this time.
Rick Twombley (one of us maybe?) wrote on Facebook that Rendon will have a breakout season in 2026, meaning he’ll break something and be out for the year.
I would love this. He just gets tossed, winds up on the Marlins. Has a .900 OPS. Flips off everyone and goes home.
You misspelled Rendone.
Just a reminder that this will be Garcia’s third stint with the Angels (2019 and 2024).

Painless trade, maybe helpful additions, we’ll see.
The pain is all in the fact that we’re going for it in 2025.
IDC if we go for it in 2025, as long as we don’t (Over)pay for it 2025.
If we go for it at all in 2025 we have overpayed.
Agreed. Lord give me the strength to not give a shit about what I can’t control. Nothing apparently changes so why should we expect it to?
I actually think this is to fill in for some guys on the move. Hopefully a real prospect.
There is this hope. Also, if I’m lucky, I can root for the Reds, Brewers, Phillies, Tigers this post season even if we are ALL IN BALLS DEEEP!
No more Quizno’s.
These guys were free agents during the season…..
Too bad we didn’t start the season with this depth. Assuming we’re full on buyers, this team is still 1 starting pitcher and 1 position player short of making a run.
Here’s your solution.
It’s an interesting idea, I don’t know if we have the prospect package to get that done.
Bieber is a negative asset. He’s overpaid for this season and has an option he will exercise if he looks even remotely like his normal self by the end of the year.
We can snag Bieber. Kwan is out of our price range even if taking on Beebs.
Hmmm, I wonder if they are setting the table to trade Kenley and Detmers for young, controllable position players?
Or Perry read Jeff’s article and is preparing to remake the team.
Nope. This team is mere inches away from greatness and whether they know it or not Arte is at the head of a parade of old farts who just want the team to be mid-good again and maybe sniff the fingers of a real play off team in October so we can say we saw it before the good Lord buries us on a mountain with His hands.
We’re acquiring Kenny Powers, awesome.
“Fundamentals are a crutch for the talentless.” The Sheriff is the lefty that will get us to the promised land. I can feel it in my plumbs.
Now, had that guy ran out of the Halos bullpen last night…..
Is that Brad Delp from the band Boston?
Brad Delp
That’s Kenny F***ing Powers to you, do you know who I am? 😂
