I use Prospects1500 for dynasty leagues, and according to them, Stallings is the Angels 19th prospect, and Pina their 21st.  It looks like Stallings profiles as a low ceiling/high floor back of rotation starter who controls pitchers well, and Pina may be a high leverage reliever if he can't develop a third pitch.  Not a bad return, but nothing to write home about either.

For all his greatness, Iggy is just an aging (great) SS, coming off a career 2 years at the plate on a one year contract. Two Lottery Tickets for him seems like a good return to me.

Elias on Iglesias trade and Alberto non tender:

“We continue to view the accumulation of talent as a priority,” executive vice president/general manager Mike Elias said in a video conference call on Wednesday night.

“The reality is when you’re in a phase like we are, anytime you sign a free agent, it’s in the back of your mind that trade possibilities exist with that player. He’s not a player that we would have traded lightly, but we knew there were some open shortstop jobs around the league.

“We knew he was very attractive for his offensive, defensive and leadership skills that he put on display with the Orioles, and I think that we got two quality arms from the Angels, one of whom, in particular, is somebody that we’ve been focused on since he was in the 2019 draft, Garrett Stallings, one of the best pitchers in the Southeastern Conference that year.”

“We have absolutely loved having Hanser in every way, shape and form since he got here, ” Elias said. “He’s a terrific player. I expect that he’ll have opportunity and interest. Part of our job is to operate within the economic framework of the collective bargaining agreement, and the rules that are in place and the quirks of the arbitration system.

“You saw today a lot of really good players around the league get non-tendered as part of this process. He’s somebody that we continue to have interest in pursuing. We feel this is a great home for him, and continues to be, and we will continue talking to him. I think the interest is mutual, but it’s his right to explore opportunities, and we’re going to have to compete for him.”

I'm not sure this is the worst time to make a trade. There's a lot of SS options on the FA market this winter. Iglesias is the cheap one-year contract option available via trade. As guys land places, though, his demand likely goes down. Right now you have the leverage of "there are a lot of teams that could use a dirt cheap producer at SS, do you want to have to bid on the FA guys or do you want to get this done?"

On the other hand, how much trade value will Iglesias have next June? Also, the angels farm system is not loaded with prospects, I question whether any acquisitions would even break our top 30.

Also, my God, we just ruined our middle infield defense again. The people on this site got to spend four or five happy hours contemplating a solid defensive in the field for next season. Now, not so much.

Offseason isn't over yet.  Not that I have hopes for this being a particularly great offseason, but it's not over yet.

Sanchez is GG winner at 2B, At WORST we only half ruined it. And we're not even to the Winter "Meetings" yet.
