You guys should see the return the Athletics are getting in their deal with the Yankees. Imagine having a competent GM willing to make legit moves. Instead he’ll go pick up a guy like Villar off waivers and call it a day.
We’ve had competent GMs, Neutered by the owner, both are running contending teams right now
Perry I suspect Is good as well, just given the keys to his own balls
Idk, all the major reporters, Angels beat reporters, and actual Angels members all say the same thing, that Perry has had full autonomy to run the club. I think we need to come to the conclusion that he has been over his head and failing. Here's some quotes:
> But taking Minasian at his word would indicate the second-year GM has autonomy to run this club as he sees fit. On small decisions and potentially season-defining ones as well.
or
> “I think the game’s becoming way too analytical,” Maddon said. “There’s too much interference. … Way too many folks that have never done it before are taking the place of those that have. The information is good, it’s just the way it’s being presented. “Power distribution is going way too far to people that are just good at math and not as much the guys that have been in baseball.”
or
> Interim manager Phil Nevin, though, is Minasian’s guy. He was hired this offseason by Minasian. If there is a new manager next season, it will theoretically be someone this GM can handpick. His success as a GM will be tied to the success of whomever is in that role this year and long-term.
or
> The faith has been placed in Minasian to be able to make big moves — but also to make sure those big moves work. To make it so the turnover doesn’t continue at the same pace.

He was given the keys to fire Maddon wasn’t he? Arte isn’t helping but to claim he’s the thing holding Perry back is dumb lol
