The Angels and Dodgers agree to the following trade.  The Angles are in a complete rebuild mode as I took over a franchise that was in horrible shape.  We gain two specs from the SF organization in Crick who is shaping up to be a big time power pitcher and this monster of an OF in Mac Williamson who looks to have tons of power.  We also add a current MLB bat in Agonz as we don't really have any MLB hitters.  The Dodgers gain another SP in Grienke and two RPs that get a ton of FPG from the RP position, a position where the Dodgers are weak.  Stauffer is also possibly moving back to the rotation.  This trade is good for both of us as it fits in our teams respective plans.  Money is even in this deal.  Dodgers to confirm. 


OF Williamson, Mac, $0.5m (P-n/a)
SP Crick, Kyle, $0.5m (P-n/a)
CI Gonzalez, Adrian, $19m (2015)

RP Axford, John, $2.5m (2014)

SP Stauffer, Tim, $5.5m (2015)

Thanks Paul.

Phillies receive:
MI Valbuena, Luis, $0.5m (2014)   

Angels receive:
C Jimenez, AJ, $0.5m (P-n/a)

Phillies do this deal for some depth. With my trade for Montero I felt Jimenez was expendable.

Thanks Brent for the easy deal! 

Thanks for the easy deal.  This deal is going to be one of many in the rebuild of the Angels.  I took over a pretty horrible team, but plan to build it from the ground up. 

Angels are looking to move one of their pieces of value to a team that is making a run this year.  I am looking for great young talent. 

SP Greinke, Zack, $11m (2017)

Based on the current rules the Angels will buy out Nishioka. 

MI Nishioka, Tsuyoshi, $2m (2014)

$2m (2013) + $2m (2013) + $0.5m (1.1% buyout tax) = $4.5m
