Angels News
Former Angels catcher Bob Boone has died. He was 10 days away from his 79th birthday. Bob spent 7 years in Anaheim, winning 3 gold gloves and appearing in the 1983 All Star Game. While the rest of the Baseball world remembers him as a Phillie, or the father of the Yankees current manager, for older Angels fans, he was a stable presence behind the plate and was a part of both the 1982 and 1986 AL West champ teams.
Kurt Suzuki won’t be managing the 2027 Angels, but he will be a special assistant. Well, at least Jeff has someone to talk to.

Awards are coming in. Manager of the year NL goes to Pat Murphy of the Brewers for the 3rd year in a row.
For the AL manager of the year it goes to Will Venable of the White Sox. hey if that team can turn it around in 1 year…
Anthony Santander really should have kept his mouth shut as now the Blue Jays FO has to deal with what he said. Guy wasn’t even good last year.
Free Agency is starting and from the GM meetings it does not look good. Teams are stingy? Come on, give the team to Stan already so the Angels can buy all the FA!
There are some moves though. Emilio Pagan is going to the Tigers. 1/11M.
Ryan Weiss to the Padres as well. Money TBA.
All the big names are still available though, including the ones from Japan. Padres are on the move to sign them soon.
But hey, the WPBL will still be a thing in 2027. And this is how the roster gets filled.
