I just found one of the wildest things I've seen in a while:
David Fletcher, yes THAT David Fletcher, struck out the side as a pitcher today for the Braves AAA team. And is he throwing a knuckleball?
He's thrown 2 scoreless innings this season, 3 K and 1 BB.

Two things are true:
1) The Angels are better off not spending $700M and $70M AAV on a single player, as amazing as Shohei is.
2) Arte Moreno and the
#Angels
wasted their years with Shohei Ohtani and he should be admonished for that.
Thank you, Shohei. F— you, Arte.

The

haven’t:
• had a winning record since 2015.
• made the playoffs since 2014.

You can debate whether buying is the rational move, but I’m going to enjoy my favorite team going for it in their last guaranteed year with Ohtani.

Part of the pitch in getting Ohtani to sign long-term is to show him that you're committed to winning.
Going all-in at the deadline and exceeding the luxury tax for the first time in nearly 20 years is proof of that commitment.
Remember, he wants to win here. In Anaheim.

Phil Nevin managed his butt off today, props to him.
• Taking Silseth out after 5, recognizing he was getting tired and ATL was starting to hit him.
• IBB to Olson.
• Matching up Loup for the lefty lane.
• Using Soriano and López vs. the top of Atlanta’s order.

If you’re Arte Moreno, offer Ohtani whatever it takes to keep him. $500M, $750M, $1B.
I guarantee you make all that and more back via ads, merchandise, and generations of Angels fans that come because families grew up watching Ohtani in Anaheim.

Brett Phillips deserves major props for the

• He runs on the 2-2 pitch to Renfroe, which eliminates the double play and forces the throw home.
• He sees the catcher dropped the ball, takes 3B, and ultimately scores the winning run on Drury's sac fly.

Only Ohtani knows whether he would’ve picked the
#Angels
over LAD if the offers were the same.
But if you’re Arte Moreno and you weren’t willing to match the top offer for Ohtani, why didn’t you trade him?
Did you not see him getting that much? Are you that stupid? (Yes)
Can confirm, per source, that the Angels/owner Arte Moreno decided not to match the Dodgers’ 10-year/700-million contract offer for Shohei Ohtani.
His agent, Nez Balelo, said the Angels had “every opportunity” in negotiations.

From 2018-2020, Shohei Ohtani was handled with kids gloves and threw 53.1 innings.
From 2021-2023, Shohei Ohtani was given free rein and threw 429.2 innings.
I don't see how anyone can blame any side (Ohtani or the Angels) for him getting injured. Injuries happen. They suck.

Great Phil Nevin moment:

Something important I want to say:

If Mike Trout wants a big free agent, especially one who wants to be in Anaheim, then Arte Moreno needs to step up and get it done.

I don’t understand the sentiment that the

are destroying their farm system or future by buying this deadline.
Destroying their future would be if they traded O’Hoppe, Neto, Bachman, Silseth, etc. for rentals.
The guys they traded take the farm from 29th to 30th.

Arte Moreno better give Perry Minasian all the resources he needs to build a winning team, and Perry better deliver.

Until Arte sells the team, this organization is cooked.

I love Perry’s aggressiveness.

How is this allowed?
Article XXIII is the Competitive Balance Tax.
Article XXXIII G (1) says a club and player cannot “enter into any agreement… that includes any terms designed to defeat of circumvent” the Competitive Balance Tax.
Shohei Ohtani's $700 million contract calls for him to be paid only $2 million a year for the next 10 seasons, with $680 million deferred until the end of the deal, sources confirm to ESPN.
The CBT hit on the contract is going to be around $46 million, a huge discount for L.A.

• Lost the Anaheim Ducks as a partner.
• Stopped sending their radio broadcasters on the road.
• Suppressed “negative” comments about the team.

Arte Moreno is scared that trading Ohtani would tarnish his legacy, as if his legacy isn’t already tarnished.

Fantastic response by the

Losing Ohtani sucks, but nothing hurt me more than Arte announcing he was pulling the team off the market.
