Now that is a real offer, unlike that Astros crap. I would do that deal without Shields and would prefer a prospect that the Anels would give up (rather than a valuable piece for their playoff run). Unfortunately, we aren't getting Santana or Weaver, so it doesn't matter.

Why? Santana & Kendrick alone is pretty good even without Shields. Have you heard antyhing better? This blows away Hirsch & Pence & whatever from the Astros. Santana is already pretty proven & Kendrick is on his way too.

Not that I'm Bigbird, but I think he's saying if he was the Angels he'd turn that down also.

Problem is, those guys are pretty established MLers now. You offer that two months ago and you might have something. But why would they trade three CURRENT ML contributors for ONE current ML contributor?

Wood, Adenhart and Aybar.

While the article has todays date on it, that information seems to be old.. wasn't that reported about a week ago?
I hadn't heard before today that that offer was actually made and rejected. I know I've heard that proposal (and about a million others ;)) here on OH, but I don't recall hearing official confirmation of it until today.

      I think you'd see a much stronger correlation to how they were rated in the minors vs. draft position. Westburg has been treated similarly to Cowser and Kjerstad. Adley, Gunnar and Holliday were all consensus #1 prospects and have been given pretty much immediate every day player status.

      Game ball or the equivalent of hockey star(s) of the game for me: Suarez — all of those zero’s on the road, gets my game ball. Kimbrel is my runner-up. I know striking out Trout with the bases loaded is the job, but it ain’t easy. Cowser - Honorable Mention. I’m still not 100 percent in on the Milkman nickname, but he sure is fun to watch.

      Yeah - I was thinking Beavers could fill that spot, but it seems he is more suited for a corner outfield position, if he makes the bigs at all.

      Kjesrtad was Elias's #1 pick in 2020 draft and #2 overall, so Elias saw something great in him.  Can you all imagine how powerful the O's will be if Holliday starts to hit and Kjerstadt hits like he did in the minors, Kjesrtad did good when he was called up in 2023.  They will be the Baltimore Bombers!

      I'm not crushing Santander either, but he's a career .765 OPS guy. It was .797 last year. His only year over .800 was the Covid year. He plays average defense. Not a butcher, but not exactly rangy out there. Long story short, I think you can get similar power with more OBP from Kjerstad and Cowser with similar defense for Kjerstad and better for Cowser. So yes, I'd say they'll be better than Santander.

      Can we get Buster Olney, talking heads, and various posters to look in the mirror for their ridiculing Elias' "hoarding" prospects? The strategy has always been about raising the competitive floor/ceiling while managing risk like a portfolio manager.  Seeking alpha while managing beta is the goal.  Sig's purpose is the quantify. And yet we still have people tossing out trade proposals and extensions and unhealthy FA pursuits because they know better and moving prospects to other positions.  It's fun to speculate but it's foolish to present it as an absolute.
