LA Angels Wednesday News Crash: Angels do NOTHING

Morning Angels fans, have some links.

Angels News

There is no Angel news. There never was going to be any Angels news. Seriously, all I could find is the Voice of OC pondering about the future of Angel Stadium.

Around Baseball

Nolan Arenado was traded. To Arizona. St. Louis eats most of the contract. And all it cost was an 8th round prospect.

Marlins continue their semi annual fire sale with trading Ryan Weathers to the MFY. 4 prospects for a pitcher who can’t pitch 100 innings a year.

KC is bringing in the fences. See, this is why the three true outcomes is so prevalent. Everyone wants the DINGRZ.

Venezuela players are now opting out of the WBC. Not for injuries, but for, you know. If you don’t know, you really have been living under a rock.

Man Ram is unofficially officially NOT gonna make the HOF. He is in his final year and enough ballots are known to see that he isn’t making it. The cheater, who got caught with PEDs TWICE after testing, will next have to appease the Vet committee on why they should let him in. SUCK IT.

FA signings are a bit underwhelming this year. So far, these are the top 10 FA contracts. Bellinger, Bo, and Tucker are not topping Dylan Cease if the latest news is to be believed.

MLB Network is going over their Top 100 right now. I miss when Trout was #1. Now he is 82nd. Behind Altuve.

Rob Manfred is still trying to push a Salary Cap. Enjoy 2026, there may not be MLB baseball in 2027.

MLB Network is revealing their Top 100.
#82 Mike Trout
#87 Zach Neto

Neto is still underrated. Not sure Trout deserves his ranking 😞

Here’s a link… to the conspicuous absence of a link. Man, the Halos really MUST be non grata, to be the one MLB franchise out of 30 that doesn’t warrant a team page at SB Nation. Was the Halos Heaven experience simply that toxic for them? Salted the digital earth, so to speak? https://www.sbnation.com/

Oops, I was wrong… the Marlins don’t have one, either. Losers table.

I still don’t understand the perception the Angels “missed out” on Arenado.

Was there ANY evidence anywhere, he wanted to come here? And if a trade was worked out, WHY would he want to come here? Because he went to HS in El Toro? Mike OMFG-Used-To-Be-The-GOAT-And-Yes- We-Can-Continue-To-Decline-Together Trout? The monkey and the beach? Altho, his .237BA would fit in with the Angels lust for fading .240 hitting former Cardinals

Yeah, that worked out SO well for the Angels and Cole right? Right?

Nobody really wanted Arenado. Nor did it appear he wanted to come here.

He’s just the latest in a string of third basemen that were acquired below expected cost.

And the Angels didn’t land a single one.

Well-written article and I couldn’t finish it out of anger and sadness.

Don’t drink and drive is not a hard concept.

Unfortunately, I’m not surprised given the franchise “leadership”. This reinforces that if given the option, don’t sign with the Angels while Arte, Kuhn and Carpino are in charge.

But at no point have the Angels offered to cover any of Foster’s medical costs. And with the new season beginning in February, Foster is at risk of losing his insurance through the team. It’s up to the Angels, Cleveland said, to keep him covered or not.

Though a team official did visit in November, communication with the club has become minimal over the last three months. Oliver’s brother regularly refreshes Foster’s roster page online to make sure he hasn’t been released by the organization.”

Horribly sad… and, of course, a tragedy that has/had nothing to do with Angels organizational leadership. Let’s hope they do the right thing and keep him insured, and maybe not use the poor guy’s misfortune to fashionably drape anti-Arte narratives until it becomes clearer.

Arte has earned all the retroactive and prospective negative narratives. The legacy of his actions is beyond clear after all this time.

I can’t think of a single business other than the Angels that would be expected to provide free medical care/insurance to a former employee for a non-work-related injury.

Unlike Skaggs, this one can’t even be blamed on another Angel employee.

Sad story all around. Young people make stupid mistakes. Most of us survived fine but some don’t.

Then you add the insane expense and bureaucracy of our healthcare system on top of the human tragedy and it just buries a family.

The Angels are under no legal obligation to continue his insurance but morally it is the right thing to do.
