I see Rendon has gotten himself up to where all expected him to be but the Angels have no pitching. I mentioned when they signed Trout they should have traded him for a number of players including pitchers but now they have these 2 big contracts and they have 1 more year with Pujols at 25 mill. That organization has had so many bad contracts which include Wells, Matthews Jr and Hamilton. They just do not learn. You have no pitching you pretty much can forget about it.
That is exactly why I do not want to trade Lynn unless of course we get back his worth. Pitchers like Lynn are not that available.

Continue trying to land a better deal. Why would you want to give up Lynn for something you already have.
We aren’t going anywhere soon so why punish Lynn? But go for the best deal

A Cy Young candidate is worth more than what you suggested and why would you take the first offer on the table and that is not punishing anyone. If they want the best they can do better.

That was the start of the trade proposal

Believe I'd pass. If we don't get a 1b with a big bat, we don't need another IF.
Lynn is too good to settle for someone who can not stand out and make a difference.
He has a grand total of 18 games played professionally. He is their 5th best prospect though. It would definitely depend on the other guys.

He does play 3B and some of those guys have converted nicely to 1B including Teixeira and Davis.

Of course depending on who and how many. Lynn is expensive in my book.

I have to agree. He is one of the top pitchers in MLB right now. And don't just need a 1st baseman but future pitching prospects. Not sure how our current ones will pan out but more don't than do of course. I am not against trading him but not just for offense.

I would trade him for offense if it was someone AA or above that has been a great hitter at every level. Very few guys would fit into that kind of category though.

I think we kind of expected this is the way it would be. Minor pitching better would have helped some. So play young guys. No Choo, Frazier, Mathis (except once in a while since Chirinos is out) and Andrus being out helps some as well.

This team is so bad that Oder is hardly noticed.
