    It was funny to hear him pronounce Anthony Santander’s name as “san-tander” and you know he’s heard it properly pronounced he just didn’t give a [censored] which has always been one of the most endearing features (to me) about the good old employer or Mr Belvedere!

    When Harry Caray was still in St. Louis he admitted he sometimes got the players names wong on purpose. He was a firm believer of "any attention is good attention>

    I don't mean that as an insult, but he was still fairly new to MLB broadcasting and probably figured getting noticed this way was faster.

    Good ol Harry. Loved him. Love all of the great baseball broadcasters. Ya know with Harry it seemed like the longer the game went the less he remembered lol or do you think that had more to do with ice cold Budweiser (sounds good)

    A guy has to hydrate. Wait a second. That doesn’t hydrate you.

    I don't think anybody will give the Angels what they want for a 2 month rental, unless Ohtani tells that team that he will sign with them. That being said, I'm hoping my Giants feel obligated to make up for missing out twice with Judge and Correa, although I'd rather have Ohtani than either one of those 2 at this point. I don't think money will be the issue if Ohtani goes to LA over the Giants, Giants are going to do everything they can to keep him from going there.

    Giants didn't miss out on Judge or Correa,
    Judge was a negotiation tactic- he was never signing anywhere else.
    and Correa- didn't miss out,got lucky.

    I saw today that as of the beginning of this week there were 22 teams that were only 8 games out or less…which we’ve all seen how quickly a team can rise while another can fall, it’s got me hoping that we some some interesting and strategic trades as we approach the deadline.

    Here’s what the mlb site has up today regarding potential candidates for trade. Some real eyebrow raisers if you ask me.

    Here's an idea for my halos. Trade Ohtani if he will not resign. Add Rendon to the package which will free up $65 million. Go heavy for, the hometown boy, Matt Chapman and an real second baseman in free agency. Put Drury at first, or second if necessary. Outfield doesn't need any changes. Moniak and Adell (finally) can replace Renfroe. Trade Renfroe for a 2B prospect. I think the rays have a spare.

    Almost any team over 500 could use Ohtani and a team like the Twins, Brewers, and Marlins might go for it.

    Outstanding post. Kudos to you for being willing to look at many options. When you said 2B in the free agent market the first name that came to mind was the Wong kid up in Seattle…did they ever resign him? Or does he have another year to go

    Baez comes to mind

    I don't see the Mariners trading for him unless they know he will sign. Similar to Castillo last year. I live up on the Olympic Peninsula and would love a chance to watch and root against him. The Ms have a great farm system, so I think the Angels would be open to several players.

    Baez has 5 years left with the Tigers and he has a no trade clause, he is going nowhere. Kolton Wong is available but he is batting well below the mendoza mark at 161. With 1 home run and 15 RBI's don't see how that helps the Angels at all.

    Now i know he's hurt but a guy like Gavin Lux may start to get the Angels attention. Thats the kind of player a Ohtani trade might require.

    You also have to rule out the teams that Ohtani will never sign with, hate to say it but to takes out Detroit, Pittsburgh, Miami or any team not making the playoffs, also think West coast. I still say the Giants make a play for him. You know they would love to stick it to the Dodgers and they have prospects and space.

    Baez has an opt out this year per MLB.

    2B FAs-Jon Berti (club option), Adam Frazier, Jorge Polanco (club option), Whit Merrifield (mutual option), Jonathan Schoop, Kolten Wong

    These would be short term

    Ok that may be true but the fact reamins that Ohtani will not be traded to a non playoff team. Also I don't think Baez opts out of his contract.

    I don't see Ohtani going to the Dodgers yet because of the animosity between the two teams. I do like Gavin Lux though and I think he still has 3 years of team control. Gavin Lux and Zach Neto as the Angels middle infield would be scary good.

    The Pirates just took out a reverse mortgage on PNC Park, so I'm pretty confident Ohtani will be wearing the Black and Gold come August.

    There was an article on that back in April when they were still on the hot streak lol

    Those teams won’t take Rendon. The team that’ll take Rendon is the team Arte won’t trade with.

    Man the trade rumors around Shohei just continue to fester. The guy on Baseball Tonight podcast seems to believe it’s gonna happen. Clocks ticking haha I can’t wait to see what happens around the league, Ohtani or no. My Mets have some chips they sure could ante up to make for an interesting pot!

    ps hey, a poker metaphor hat trick!

    Less than a week to go…can’t wait to see! I bet my hapless Mets are going to offload one of their aces if not two. The Orioles are a couple of trades away from being a WS caliber team so I’d sure enjoy seeing whom else they acquire. I LOVED the addition of Shintaro! Also loved to see Kike go back home to the Dodgers where he belongs…even though I can never pull for the Dodgers fully as a Met fan (still stewing over the 1988 nlcs), I DO love me a good, intelligent, and strategic baseball move. Anyone else?

    No, I like boneheaded moves like trading Pedro Martinez for Delino DeShields. It would be cool if Mike Scioscia were added to the game so we could replay his homer in 88 though.

    Phillies need a corner outfielder with a bat and possibly a 1B as well. Possibly will be looking for a 5th starter too
