at the rate things are going the only angels player that's going to be left is going to be

mike trout looks like everybody every other angel could be gone by the time you hear this

recording all coming up next on the Roto Wire Fantasy Baseball podcast. We're no Angels, and neither is Lucas Gialito or Hunter Renfro pretty soon. Fred, how's it going?

I'm great. I'm not a member of the Angels, so I am still employed as of this evening. So for me, it's pretty solid. Yeah. So the big

deal here, and what we're referring to is this afternoon, the Angels were first act. I think if it

weren't, if they weren't first act, it might not have been as big of a bombshell.

But the angel, Jeff Passon broke the story that at least five, maybe six angels are going to be tried to pass through waivers, including Lucas Gialito, Hunter Renfro, Randall J. Gritchick, Reinaldo Lopez, and then Matt Moore as well.

And the thing is, unlike in the past when we had non-waiver

trades, you know, post-waiver deadline trades, the angels will get nothing back if some team

claims them. They're just trying to, this is a pure salary dump. That's all they're trying to do

here. Yeah, I would say two things. You know, at first when I saw it, I thought, well, this is crazy and, you know, it doesn't fit with the spirit of these playoff races. But then I thought, you know what? The Angels save money. And these players are all free agents at the end of the season. The Angels also clear, clear opportunities for younger players to play if that's what they want. I mean, the money can be the main motivator. It's the only motivator. Come on. Let's not lie here. I guess so. But at the same time, we can say like, why are the angels wasting now that they fall into the race? And we've got to give them credit they did the right thing they tried to

stay in the race true it didn't work out you only have to look at how some of these players like

geolito and gritchick have played for them to see why they've fallen out of the race um but but what did

they have to gain from giving randall grichick at bats you know in. Why not give them to almost, give him to tray cabbage.

Joe Adele.

Yes.

Why not Joe Adele finally?

Anybody.

He might be hurt for all.

I know.

I haven't heard that name in a while, but.

So as far as saying like it's a bad move, like it's not really a bad move.
