Cause Moreno is a cheap and stubborn rear end in a top hat

It’s just utterly confusing as to why he would instruct his GM to go for all-in moves ostensibly to keep Ohtani happy and likelier to re-sign and then…two months later, refuse to pony up the cash, even theoretically? It’s just so confusing.

That he should grow greens instead of crushing on MCs

They tanked after the trade deadline and I think that was when it became clear Ohtani wasn't coming back. If the goal was to show Ohtani that they are serious about winning and making the playoffs it did not work.

The Angels farm system are ranked near the bottom. They aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

If's true that Ohtani gave the Angels a chance to match and they didn't that is loving heinous on Moreno's part.

Moreno doesn't want to spend into the tax and he'd have to to keep Ohtani.

I imagine it might drive the price of the Angels down should he sell cause that's a hell of a liability to take on in a decade.

They're trying to make sure the stadium funding deal gets passed.

If they want to convince me they're trying to win they can sign BWJ to a long term deal.


Still, it's nice to see a Royals front office actually take steps to address their weaknesses in ways that don't involve singing Jordan Lyles.

You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and be a llama?



Rendon is really depressing because it hasn't been like, one nagging injury or something that's been bugging him, since going to the angels it's been

2020: good and no injuries, but it was the covid year so he still only played 52 games
2021: groin strain, left knee contusion, left hamstring strain, right hip impingement finally ended his season
2022: right wrist surgery, also got suspended for hitting someone with his cast when he was out injured which is kinda rad
2023: team said he was out with a "bone bruise" with bleeding inside the bone, rendon says he was out with a fractured tibia


he is like a concussion and a spine injury away from career injury bingo in just 3 seasons it's insane
