In this job, you're always assessing credibility.

And I felt like he's been credible with us.

We'll see how this plays out over the course of the next couple months.

But I do think that there will be

uh selling at the deadline i mean you know i mean it doesn't mean that they have to uh the kind of like we talked about the rockies not that the angels are in the same position but they most of the guys that they have who they could trade are not guys on expiring contracts now i don't think jorge soler at this point is going to net you much if anything because he's just not performed very well

But, you know, Reed Detmers, Zach Netto's a name that's come up a lot recently.

Jose Soriano, maybe even Joe Adele, who's got a year plus, not having a good season, but also, you know, did hit 37 home runs last year.

And I think there's a lot in there that...

you know creates optimism among rival teams so i think that there are players that they could definitely look to trade mike shrouds obviously the name that you know i don't i just don't see it happening personally because for numerous reasons and i don't think people always understand those reasons but you know it's the money it's the age it's it's the years it's everything um but yeah i think the angels could potentially be be on the market to sell i mean that's that is what

mosaic is saying out loud right like like i have the authority to do this like i think we need to like look for change we need to do this differently he's saying it out loud so if you take him at his word and i am right now right like i think all of these players um you know will be available to some extent doesn't mean they have to do anything doesn't mean they will do anything um that being said i think if they come out of this deadline with with just kind of like having been really conservative and not done much of anything it would be a big miss in my opinion

And the reason is, like, the supply and demand of this market right now, I mean, there's, you know, how many teams are in the Angels position where they are not even, like, there's not even a hope, right?

Like, you're not, you're not.

going to make the playoffs this year.

So what can you do, right?

Like, this is the opportunity.

Most of the teams in the American League still feel like there's at least a hope.

Most of the teams in the National League still feel like there's at least a hope.

You know, you can wait till the offseason if you want, but I don't think that you're going to have the market that you're going to have, especially with, you know,

If you trade these guys, then they're going to – their value is inherently larger to begin with because there's that extra postseason that they could potentially be an assistance in.

So I think the Angels should be aggressive.
