September 22, 20205 yr Oh boy would this be fun. The Angels are in desperate need of new leadership as Billy Eppler just hasn't gotten the job done. The Angels have some pretty good prospects for Dombrowski to trade (Adell, Marsh, Adams, Detmers) but the system falls off a cliff after them and they're still saddled with terrible contracts to Pujols and Upton. It's too bad Ohtani is having such a down year because if he can't pich anymore he could be a good trade candidate. This might be Dombo's toughest reclamation project yet and I can't wait to see how it unfolds.

He is the most detailed and involved person I have ever met.
September 22, 20205 yr Wow the Angels have to be one of the biggest messes out there. They have a TON of long term money, so he can't spend his way out of this. It has to be drafting and development, but that isn't what he does well.
September 24, 20205 yr I remember him and Roland, did a great job with the Sox including their second best season (99 wins, 1 shy of 1917, tied with 2005) in club history. Bill Veeck always had an eye for great talent, sad they were purged. Not many win 4 pennants and 2 World Series leading their organization.
September 24, 20205 yr Dave is involved with the Nashville Stars group trying to get a new team and build a ballpark. Not sure if he is available. Maybe. They seem to think expansion might be in the cards.
September 27, 20205 yr Author Eppler gone. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/09/angels-fire-billy-eppler.html
September 28, 20205 yr I like Dave D - he's done a nice job winning championship / building championship organizations. He has his flaws - but what he's done in multiple places is pretty spectacular.
October 1, 20205 yr He did always trade a lot of prospects but most of them really became busts. The only real good ones he traded were andrew miller in the miggy trade and moncada, kopech in the sale trade and both trades brought in a superstar in their prime who worked out really well. Still of course that approach is not super sustainable but he definitely did trade the right guys most of the time.
