LA Angels Tuesday News Crash:

March 24, 2026

9 Comments

This article is about the most important thing each team learned at camp. For the Angels it is that there are impressive young arms in the organization, including number 1 prospect Tyler Bremner (pictured above).

Daniel Robert of the Phillies threw his first bullpen session of the spring and collapsed with a cardiac event. He similarly collapsed at his final bullpen session of 2025. His implantable cardioverter defibrillator doesn’t seem to be getting the job done. In other injury news, the following players will begin the season on the IL: Gavin Lux, Seiya Suzuki, Josiah Gray, Spencer Strider.

Matt Thaiss was reassigned by the Red Sox to minor league camp.

Extensions

The Blue Jays extended Ross Atkins and John Schneider. The Phillies extended Christopher Sanchez.

Will Trouty play more than 100 games if he man’s CF? O/U for games played for Mike should be 110. Can Frazier still hit at least .260? Can O’Hoppe hit .250? Can Neto move up the ladder of highly rated Shortstops with playing 150 games in a season?

I like the odds of the pitching staff holding their own with another Mike teaching them. 3 pitchers will win 10+ games with ERA of less than 4.

@ very important items that must work out, PTP must have a verty good draft and he must make a lot of trades at the deadline.

Prior to opening day 2028 Arturo will sell the team for over 30 billion.

You heard it here first; Schanuel will hit .290-21-77 with a .370 OBP throwing in 30 doubles. All I have to do is dream 🙃 But sometimes dreams come true.

Keep an eye on the A’s. They are going to be fun to watch.

Fun to watch in a Banjo Box playing field that is always a challenge to pitching staff., but I hope it works out well for them. On paper it looks like they have the power bats, but what happens when they get to Vegas? Houston still looks like they will fight off the Rangers for 2nd place as Seattle will end up at the top.

Are we doing season predictions or has everyone already penciled this team in for 100 losses??

I recall reading several predictions within the 65 to 75 win range, with a low of 54 wins. I’m thinking they win 72 or 73 games this season, or in line with most of the Minasian era.

I’m in at 65-97 for 2026. My perspective is that the offense will be better than advertised, but the pitching and defense will be worse.

I’m thinking this will be the last of the really bad years, and the 2028 season (2027 will be dominated by labor strife) will be the season that things are on a definite upswing.
