While most of baseball was seething at the Dodgers, the Angels, Reds, and Rays made a 3 way trade. The Angels get Outfielder Josh Lowe and give up pitchers Chris Clark and Brock Burke.
It’s a trade for a lefty bat that can play CF who was a former first round draft pick by the Rays.
The Angels did a thing! Was it a good thing? That’s for you to decide!
Josh Groban?
Lowe will probably work out better than our last Josh….
Yeah. Josh Lowe.
Should’ve went after Josh High.
High…
Got anymore of those Watermelon Gummies?
Should’ve got Rob Lowe. At least he can act. Sorta.
Can I just say again how much MLB needs a salary cap! The Dodgers signing of Tucker is just ludicrous. There needs to be a hard cap and if there needs to be a floor to accomplish that then fine. And all television revenue should be divided equally between the teams with MLB in charge of negotiating the rights deals for television and streaming. It is the death knell of baseball if it doesn’t happen
I cannot believe the amount of money thrown to these players.
$60M/yr for Tucker, who, at his best had:
2021: 0.294 BA, 30 HR, 92 RBIs
2022: 0.257 BA, 30 HR, 107 RBIs
2023: 0.284 BA, 29 HR, 112 RBIs
In 2025: 0.266 BA, 22 HR, 73 RBIs
These are the stats that get you 4-yr/$240M contract??
For a 29-y/o player whose prime years (2021-2025) show the above stats?
Forking Dodgers!?!
Winners do everything necessary to win.
Losers dumpster dive.
Nothing wrong with Dumpsters
This is a 27 year old who has had 1 good year in 5 seasons. He has produced basically 0 WAR for 4 out of 5 years he has played professional baseball. His one productive season was 2023. Why give up two young pitchers for this guy? Oh he makes $755,000 – I guess that explains it.
If you’re cheap and had a good year 2 or 3 years ago, you have a home in Anaheim
And a former first rounder
My wife told me we are boycotting Home Depot so like the Angels we are all in with Lowe’s.
I’m looking for a HomeBase. As in guys that can find their way to Homebase more often this year.
