Don’t worry, we’ll find a way to get you one king.

Mike Trout on if Angels selling at deadline has changed his desire to stay with the team, via @RhettBollinger:

"Nah, it hasn't changed anything."

Trout has only played in 3 playoff games his entire career.

Wrote about Ryan Zeferjahn, who has some extremely loud metrics, simply stopped walking people, and has the chance to be the most impactful add of the entire Deadline -- even if you don't know who he is.

Writing about Ryan Zeferjahn and I cannot believe how many times I am referencing Mason Miller and Jacob Misiorowski here

[Chad Kutzke @ChadKutzke]

@brettkim24 If he can post a 110 to 115 wRC+ as a DH vs righties I’ll be happy. All the value being on the bat scares me some, but seems like a fun and easy guy to root for!

[Chad Kutzke @ChadKutzke]

Terrible. Moz underselling/undervaluing performing relievers with control again.

[Underdog MLB @UnderdogMLB]

Trade summary, per @JeffFletcherOCR:

Cubs get - Ryan Zeferjahn
Angels get - Moises Ballesteros, Mason McGwire

[Chad Kutzke @ChadKutzke]

LOH/Silseth: D, Silseth has no options but still valuable. Hopefully the return proves me wrong. Dumping O’Hoppe for free is interesting regardless of his 25/26 results.

[Chad Kutzke @ChadKutzke]

Angels trade recap:

Jose Soriano: A, tough to mess this one up with the market being what it was. Acceptable return.

Jo Adell: A+ , getting a defensive catcher who could likely be our 2027 backup/platoon.

Suter/Yates: A. Can’t lose those.

[Chad Kutzke @ChadKutzke]

Zeferjahn: C, not a fan of Mo Baller and McGwire. Zef is undervalued.

My issue with Mo is he’s a DH only guy, probably strong slide platoon. Limits the ceiling, however he is still young and maybe there’s some untapped potential. Obviously still rooting for his success.

[Chad Kutzke @ChadKutzke]

@BaseballWRLD_ This is the worst trade the Angels made today.

[Chad Kutzke @ChadKutzke]

@BaseballValues Ballesteros can’t catch. If you treat him as only a DH how does the valuation change

[Chad Kutzke @ChadKutzke]

@YT_OnDeck What would you trade for a horrible defender who can only hit lefties?

[Chad Kutzke @ChadKutzke]

Jo Adell is a league average player / platoon bat vs LHP. Getting a “backup catcher” is indeed a great return. Any Angel fans who think Adell had higher value , does not know ball

[Chad Kutzke @ChadKutzke]

Moz 0/1. Good start!

[Jeff Fletcher @JeffFletcherOCR]

The deal is official.

The Angels are getting SS Angel Arredondo. He's 19 and has a .789 OPS at Class-A. He's not in the top 30 Rangers prospects (MLB or BA).

They are sending Silseth and O'Hoppe to the Rangers.

Travis d'Arnaud activated.

[Chad Kutzke @ChadKutzke]

Angels fans 🤝 being obsessed about catcher prospects who can’t actually catch.

Constantly rag on O’Hoppe’s defense but in return want very similar prospects.

[Chad Kutzke @ChadKutzke]

@CantHitWRISP Angels fan who actually knows ball

[Jagnole @tylergottea]

Modders are going to save CFB 27, this is insane.

If you schedule bad teams you pay them with dynasty points.

@BarstoolBigCat Careful! The silly EuroSnobs will tell you “offsides” (even as a plural) is the wrong term!!
