Tim Buss is a holdover from the Ron Washington coaching staff. One of the all-time nicest guys in the sport. Players loved him too #Angels #ReptheHalo

Josh Lowe had an 81 OPS+ last season in 108 games and has 0.8 bWAR in the last two seasons. But he was excellent in 2023.
Another reclamation project the Angels are hoping can return to previous glory. #Angels #ReptheHalo

This obviously isn't on the same scale as the Tucker signing but it's hilarious that this kind of three-team trade occurred within mere minutes.
Lots happening tonight!

Jeff Fletcher of the OC Register with great reporting found the details of the Anthony Rendon restructure:
His $38M is being split evenly over the next five years, so that’s about $7.6M this year. #Angels #ReptheHalo

Angels avoid arbitration with five of their six eligible players.
Reid Detmers and the team did not come to terms on a contract and he will likely have an arbitration hearing. #Angels #ReptheHalo

Unpopular opinion but I don’t think this Rendon thing is great for the Angels. The Angels aren’t going to be a playoff team in 2026. Why not just pay Rendon the full amount this year and be done with it? Now you’re extending the time he’s on your payroll. #Angels #ReptheHalo

Romano pitched in 49 games for the Phillies last season and had an 8.23 ERA and -1.7 bWAR. Another reclamation project for the Angels but a low-risk move #Angels #ReptheHalo
The Angels and right-handed reliever Jordan Romano are in agreement on a one-year deal worth $2 million, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
Between Romano and Alek Manoah, the Angels are really banking on some excellent 2022 Blue Jays returning to previous form.

Also, what kind of coaching staff is Suzuki going to be able to build with only one-year contracts?? Hard to imagine many coaches wanting to relocate their families under a one-year deal #Angels #ReptheHalo
Kurt Suzuki being on a one-year deal is shocking. You never see one-year deals with managers. It’s unknown if Albert Pujols or Torii Hunter were also offered one-year deals but it would make sense if that were a turn off for them #Angels #ReptheHalo

My opinion: Ron Washington made some questionable managerial moves and was inconsistent with his messaging about the team, but he really got a raw deal and didn’t get a fair chance.
Wash was always very kind to me and I’m glad I got to shake his hand one more time last week #Angels #ReptheHalo
