Very interesting. I do not htink OCab would make this kind of statement unless he believed or had heard from someone in the Angels' FO that a deal for Tejada was possible. This is really good news in that it means we would not end up with OCab ourselves.

I still don't want to move Tejada, but not being forced to take back Cabrera would make it a better deal for us. So would Tejada remaining at SS, which increases his value.

The package I'd have to get back to move him is still probably bigger than the Angels are willing to give up.

Ditto.... totally agree.

The Kendrick, Santana and Shields deal may have life.

I personally like it.

Anyone think the Angels are show casing Kendrick for a trade or did they just need some hitters?

Where would they put Kendrick? LF, SS, 2b and move Roberts? I think this is good value but it will put even more pressure on us to get a big bat at first.

I would prefer another position player (McPherson or Kotchman) instead of Shields, but gun to my head, I do that deal.

I guarantee we could turn and trade Shields for a player a lot better than McPherson or Kotchman.

Probably could have landed Kearns and almost certainly we could get Shealy for Shields.

Very good point.

Not to mention you could probally trade Shields for Garcia or Vasquez if you wanted to. Not saying that I would want to.

Good point; I didn't think of that. I just don't think we need to be trading for bullpen guys at this point. I would hope Shields would be flipped for another piece of the puzzle, like Shealy or maybe even someone better. Shields is a pretty primo reliever.

The only real reason I'd make the deal is because I'm envisioning the young staff we would have if Cabrera can get it turned around.

Santana

Bedard

Cabrera

Penn

Loewen

I would agree that this group could be exceptional and would also allow us to trade Benson. If we were able to trade Tejada in the next two weeks for Kendrick, Shields and Santana and then send Benson to Colorado for Shealy I would be very excited.

      Elias: Hyde will be back

      I'm a big fan.  It doesn't mean I have sources in the clubhouse. Do we have any idea who her sources are?  Does she have any kind of track record of having reliable sources?

      I don't know who this woman is and I don't do Twitter. And this is what I touched on in the other thread: I don't know what the best path forward is b/c I don't know exactly what the problem is. I don't think Hyde needs to go, but if this is true- and I have no idea if it is or not- he should be gone. The talk of veteran leaders brings questions.  What was insufficient of the leadership of Satandaner, Mullins, Burnes, and Kimbrel?

      Sig for me is notably rigorous trying to combat this.    I feel pretty sure he had a say in crafting his very geeky title, a reflection of his personal brand. We'll see how it goes here if it becomes recommending Adam Frazier and Kyle Gibson as correct for the roster once again.

      Again, I'm not sure what the point of contention is. They won 91 games and lost in the Wildcard round.  That puts them smack in the middle of what I forecast as their most likely outcome, though I did hope for more playoff success.  I'm not sure how that is proof I misevaluated anything. Further, again, lecturing me about the importance of depth, when I'm one of the biggest hoarders on this board, and you're one of the biggest opposite of that, is ironic to say the least.

      Aaron Judge whined about it so I’m a fan.  The older I get, the more I think people just exist to look for confirmation biases. In all avenues of life. Paul Simon wrote “a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.” I’m sure if we beat the Royals and advanced and Walltimore robbed three or four homers from the Royals, we’d be extolling its virtues and how great it is.    But that didn’t happen. If anything, there were a couple instances where, if anything, it worked against us.    So here we are.

      I mean I wouldn’t be concerned about her opinions on which FA to sign or which players are best. But, she’s definitely a big fan and is just passing off info given to her. If it didn’t track into some other things that make sense, I wouldn’t pay it much mind. Of course, someone with an agenda could’ve just told her those things to spread rumors. Maybe Rick Dempsey haha.

      Do you think any team is too stupid to account for home park dimensions when evaluating pitchers?
