The Angels were fringe contenders at the trade deadline, and they also have one of the thinnest farm systems in the league. Their fence-sitting on July 31st aggravated fans to no end, as some wanted to sell off a major league player or two and others wanted the team to push in more chips for any available major league talent. For the latter camp, trading for Andrew Chafin, Luis García and Oswald Peraza was not nearly enough. There were dozens of traded players who would have inspired more hope.
Well, it's a good thing that fans do not run teams.
