LA Angels Wednesday News Crash: A wet Christmas Eve

Morning Angels fans, stay dry, and have some links.

Angels News

Adam the Woo, an Angels (and Rays) fan and Youtuber TheDailyWoo, died. He was found dead in his home in Florida.

Flood Warning issued for SoCal. Be safe out there.

Around Baseball

Pirates signed someone to a multi year deal for the first time in 9 years. Yes, December 2016 was 9 years ago wow.

This HOF election may have some names get big numbers. While early, quite a few have been on way more ballots than last year, with King Felix getting 55% of the first 40.

Want a last minute Christmas Present? OOTP 26 is on sale.

As we get closer and closer to the next CBA being made, MLB fans were polled on their opinions on a salary cap. Morning Consult had lots of support for a salary cap, with 50% of avid fans being in favor, MLB Trade Rumors having 67% in favor, and Sportsbuisnessjournal giving us demographic data where the older the more in favor. Odd how the less you follow baseball the less you want a cap. I really thought it would be the other way around, must be fans of small market teams being mad.

Former Angel Nuke is now a White Sox. Remember when we all thought he would be great, and instead he was traded for Simba? Those were the days…

Like Detmers, Newcomb found his niche as a RP / CL. He’ll do fine for the White Sox.

Hey let’s party and talk about int’l FAs. Signing day is January 15. Through exhaustive internet research, I see the Halos are linked to three top players:

• Jeyson Horton. The ex-Yankees one. Ranked No. 9 in the class. Compact SS at 5-foot-9. 60-grade speed and 55 bat. Fringy arm, evidently, which combined with his stature suggests a move to 2B down the line. But could be a stud there. Altuve-like.
• Kendri Fana. Though rated in the 40s overall, he’s also the top RHP pitcher available, according to Pipeline. Projectable 16-year-old with a 55-grade fastball. So: We might have the best starting pitching prospect out of Latin America… which is sort of like having the best barbecue in Canada, but that’s cool. https://www.mlb.com/milb/prospects/2026/international/kendri-fana-836621
• Aramy Terrero. Another RHP, cited by Jared Tims as a Top 50 Pipeline guy (no. 37) but has since disappeared from that list. Similar profile to Fana. https://www.mlb.com/es/video/top-international-prospects-aramy-terrero-rhp

Heya Halo faithful. I hope & pray everyone has a nice Christmas and a Happy and healthy New Year.

I enjoy reading everyone’s posts, the articles and posting on here myself. Eventually I’ll get off my lazy @r$e and actually post a hack article.

Be safe Halo faithful!

The Pirates are now wheeling and dealing better than the Halos. It’s a new low for the Anaheim club.
