LA Angels Thursday News Crash: Ranger Not A Ranger

The Red Sox will sign left-hander Ranger Suarez for five years at $130 Million.

Jeff Joiner calls for a rebuild.

Here are all the teams’ first spring training workout dates for 2026.

Bud Black is back with the Padres, this time as a senior advisor to baseball operations. The Padres also signed Nick Solak and Omar Cruz to minor league deals.

The Cubs signed Alex Bregman. As we know, Nolan Arenado was traded to the Diamondbacks. That’s OK. The Angels have Nick Madrigal. The Angels also re-signed right-hander Shaun Anderson to a minor league contract.

Jose Urena signed for one year with the Rakuten Golden Eagles. The Twins claimed infielder/outfielder Vidal Brujan from the Braves. They DFAd catcher/infielder Mickey Gasper in a corresponding move. Outfielder Johnkensy Noel cleared waivers. The Orioles outrighted him to Triple-A.

Happy International Signing Day! TBW put a piece out yesterday detailing our class.

Perry’s tenure has been underwhelming and fallen short in many areas. I will give him credit for revitalizing our LATAM presence.

Hey Jeff – are they counting “clicks” over there at SI? If so, should we all click on the article a bunch of times in support?

They definitely do. Every media outlet tracks page visits, average stay time, ad clicks, etc.

I really felt Bud Black would make an excellent addition to our staff or front office. I’m sad we weren’t able to make that happen

we kept Marcel around for years – it would be nice to make it happen.

speaking of pitching coaches, is today the day Mr. CtPG realizes it’s spelt Maddux and not Maddox? Note that Greg Maddux is in HOF; it makes it easier (I get the spelling check autocorrection makes it challenging)

Probably not. Autocorrect could tell me my last name is spelled differently and I would question if I’ve been spelling it wrong this whole time. Who can stand up to all that technology?

Interesting that you answered on behalf of ctpguy when you’re typically at odds with “him”. Did you just out yourself???  😉
