So happy for Jo Adell, who more than deserves this. Good for him. I'm on the bandwagon.
I could do with a little less of the "he's been sitting on the sidelines every October in Anaheim and gets his first shot at the postseason after his long suffering years with the Angels" they've got going at least once a game, but I'm looking forward to rooting for him.

Iām just so happy for him and the Guardians! Tonightās game was SOOOO FUCKING GOOD! Ramirez is just soo fun to watch. I really hope they can take the Rays out and make it to the World Series!
I'm with you. I have nothing against either team and would have been happy if either team won. The White Sox were a great story. But the Guardians have plenty of reasons to root for them too.
iāve enjoyed the āJo adell sitting on the sidelines not going to the postseasonā which totally washes over the relationship that the Angels have had with him. the VAST majority of the time heās been with angels he was teetering between AAA and MLB quality. this is absolutely NOT a player waiting on the sidelines during the postseason. this is a guy who basically had to grind for his position on the team every fuckin year and then it only JUST started to pan out.
my frustration with the Adell situation is that we traded him just when our like 8 years of development with him started to become fruitful.
anyways, i agree with the sentiment of the post. iām rooting for him too. have enjoyed watching him make an impact with the Guardians.
Very trueā¦ and it we got a minor league catcher in return?? They must of seen depreciating returns for keeping Adell. Makes zero sense. Mby he asked for a trade
Tradable asset. Interim gm wanted to do a massive rebuild. While I know others disagree I am one of those that felt the return was a little light. I know there will be many responses telling me why I am crazy for thinking that but it was a seller's market and I still think we could have gotten a little more. Still Cozart is looking very promising. Hopefully he, and many of the other prospects we acquired, will pan out.
i understand the argument that when players are hot, you can get value of out them. it logically makes sense. i usually just donāt like the argument.
I hated the value we got in return, but the GM recognized weāre not gonna be able to sign him. Adell is a FA and expected to test the market this summer. Weāre just in no position to pay what he is worth, at least before the ownership change. Now? Iād say Cleveland has an outside chance, and the new Angels ownership can at least decide if they want to put in a fair offer even if it goes nowhere.
I think the Cleveland bats have finally woken up., If they get the WS call me crazy but I like their chances. They took 2.of 3 from the dodgers and beat Yamamoto and Saski.
Up 2-0 in a best of five with the next two at home. I don't know how they lost. TWENTY-ONE STRIKEOUTS in the winner take all game. They only put NINE balls in play all game. They were no hit for five innings. An absolute trainwreck.
His numbers are up with the Guardians and I've seen him take at bats he would have never done with the Halos. More disciplined not chasing the slider away
And every second of it is deserved and Arte should never have a day where he doesnāt hear about how terrible of an owner he was. The only time that kind of talk should stop is when the angels are good again.
I'm happy to see Adell and Soriano playing in the play-off games, and will be next season too. If they are still with Angels, no chance to play in the play-off. Angels are at least four more years to go to the play-off. Have to wait till Trout retired and finish the installment payments of Rendon's 2026 salary. The roster would be totally different, probably none of the current rosters are there.
Except our asses got whooped by the entire league the whole season not in a playoff game so its not the same thing at all. Rooting for a team with a popular player from your franchise when you arent even close to contention is a super normal thing to do if you dont have a stick up your ass
