This is actually a good trade for us. I like Burke, but selling high on a reliever for a solid, much needed lefty hitting outfielder.
And the bullpen gets WORSE
Burke š
Lowe is a decent get at least
Actually love that move…Burke was a solid arm, but nothing special, Perry still shows signs of being a great GM, just wish he wasn’t such an ass
Tucker to the Dodgers wtf
Needed a lefty bat in the lineup. I like the trade. I will like this even more if they still sign or trade for a true CF.
Also, I hope Tucker just signing with the Dodgers lights a fire under grandpa Arteās ass to approve some more moves.
I would hope this means Soler is on the move…but who knows
Meanwhile the dodgers get Tucker almost simultaneously š«
2 years late on Lowe but sure lets try i guess….
Another trade has to be coming cause now weāre in the same place when we had Ward lol
I like Burke but he was a waiver claim pick up for us. I think itās more likely that he regresses a bit this year than repeat his success. As a regular starter heās a 15/15 guy with 20/20 upside.
Fun fact, Lowe is the all-time MLB leader in stolen base percentage
Man that bullpen is really going to be a bunch of guys who can’t stay healthy and/or haven’t been good for 2-3 years.Ā
I was like “why did we get Josh Lowe for replaceable parts?” and then I realized I forgot he was awful last year. But he’s under control until 2029, Burke is just OK, and Clark is kind of interesting but couldn’t crack /our/ top 40 prospects. So I really like this.
Yeah. Sure. Why not.
Without any other context, that’s a good move for the Angels.
Lowe might not get back to his 2023 level (.835 OPS and 3.4 fWAR) but he could give you 1.5-2 wins, maybe. He’ll only be 28 on Opening Day and has three years of arbitration club control remaining, which gives them a nice window of potential upside or they could just move on.
The next obvious question: will they salary dump/straight up release Soler and target someone that can handle everyday CF duties? An outfielder configuration of Lowe and Trout/Soler in the corners and Adell in CF would be uhh … not good, even with Teodosio as a CF backup.
iām ok with this.
generally, relievers are super high variance from year to year, so trading a dude like burke who was gonna be a free agent after this season for a hitter with more team control is hard to pass up. and pomeranz is basically the same pitcher. i donāt think burke was enough of a difference maker to hold onto for a guy like lowe.
now, certainly lowe isnāt a sure thing to shine, but it seems like a worthwhile chance that a guy who had an OPS of .835 in his age-25 season might possibly return to that level. i mean, he might also just continue to hover at a sub-.700 OPS, making him exactly like a lot of other guys on the roster. but itās not a bad risk to take.
what this does tell me is that, at least at this point in the offseason, is that the angels arenāt bullish on troutās chances of playing the field much this season.
68 win ball club sadly
Not sure how to react to this when at the same time coming to the realization we may have a multi-year lockout because of the fuckin Dodgers.
Better not be another Matt JoyceĀ
Solid move if other moves follow. Which I can never count on for some reasonā¦
Biggest news of the day. š
This is the ābigā move of the off season unfortunately. Without the TV contract and 1 yr contracts for the GM & coach.
Lol…people saying this is good? This dude’s numbers are trash
