The Angels have no idea where they are in the competitive landscape, unless they plan to add like 4 pitchers and several more hitters.....why are they adding a guy this old?
A name I didn't expect to see a national outlet highlight...

Vikings somehow give up a fourth round pick for an OT. Compared to the other deals, this is not impressive. I'm having real doubts about the GM . Sure, it could be a fifth, but if he's good at all it's a fourth.
Edit... It's in 2026.... So I love this trade if he's good at all
I don't think there are 40 man issues this year at all......but I could be wrong on that. But, agreed, of the hitters, he's the one I'd least likely keep if they NEED a space.
As I've said for years, more teams should do deals like this during the year. Players are almost free right now. I mean, CA moves up what, 10 spots, less? Baltimore is picking in the 20s, and Carolina in the top 10.
I tender him. I start him in MN. If he gets hurt, oh well. Next guy up (Miranda, Severino, Julien, Larnach?). But sure, that's a pittance and I roll the dice this time he's healthy.
