Eybersson Polanco pitching line- 5 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K. The 18-year-old righty's ERA drops to 1.71 over 31.2 IP with 32 strikeouts to 11 walks. Polanco pitched in last week's DSL All-Star game.
They are meant to get people talking. One way to do that is to rile everyone up. Having a reasonable discussion about the differences between bWAR and fWAR would cause ratings to tank and a few drivers to fall asleep at the wheel. It's meant to be half way antagonistic. It's meant to be in jest. It's meant to get some fans worked into a lather. It's worked for their ratings because they've done quite well.
If you every listened to Mazz on the regular show vs Mazz on his solo baseball show, it was like two different guys. It is just a gimmick.
I think the determination would be to keep one of Verdugo and Duran and to deal the other. Duran can't play CF and Verdugo seems stuck in LF. They are both LHB that play LF.
Can they get more for Verdugo at the deadline? IDK.
If you're problem is just a moon problem, then it seems like a lot of your posts overgeneralize the situation. I'll just ignore them in the future and understand you're just venting about moon.
The Angels problem isn't Trout or Ohtani. They signed some truly horrible contracts in the past, but their current issues are due to how extremely horrible their farm system is. The owner just doesn't value the farm system and has put in no money to scouting and developing players.
