Down a rabbit hole of things that didn’t happen, the Red Sox apparently made several attempts to acquire Zach Neto from the Angels before pivoting and trading with the Brewers for Caleb Durbin.

It’s been a little over a year since the Mets claimed right-handed relief pitcher Austin Warren off waivers from the Giants, and with today being Warren’s 30th birthday, it seems like as good a time as any to take a look at what might be in store for him in 2026. Taken by the Angels […]

After the mostly-promising but late-season collapse of 2022 2024 1984, the Minnesota Twins sagged to 77-85 in 1985. Things got worse in ‘86: 71-91, 6th in the AL West—21 GB the West-winning California Angels. The average draw of 15,000 per Metrodome contest—2nd-worst in AL attendance coffers—presented a lot of bad baseball for Bob Kurtz & […]

Fifteen years ago today, Alex Anthopoulos managed to trade Vernon Wells, something that I figured was pretty much impossible. The Angels took Vernon and his rather large contract in exchange for Juan Rivera and Mike Napoli. We were: At the time of the trade, Vernon was owed about $86 million over the next four years. […]

I was a Nolan Arenado fan when he was a member of the Colorado Rockies and was thrilled when he was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals. It’s been difficult watching his performance decline due to injuries and age-related decline. Is it possible that a potential trade to the Los Angeles Angels could revive his […]
