The Angels and Padres have until 8/11/15 at 6:25A to negotiate  deal.

[Brent]

The Angels and Padres have agreed on the following trade for the waivered and claimed King Felix.  The Angels knew the only way they could move Felix was to pay on him which they are doing, but by doing so they have been able to acquire a couple young bats one CI and one OF, while also acquiring a former top SP spec who has now moved to the bullpen.  We prefer to grow our own relievers and SPs so this trade allows the Angels to do just that.  Thanks Chris for getting a deal done.

The Padres must take the opportunity to add a top level arm at a reasonable cost. I believe more prospects are waiting to be discovered every day, while an Ace is rare.  We accept.

Multiple deals were discussed, this was the agreed upon with boyd.  I agree with amended deal.
