Listen "NOT THE ANSWER: Why Trading for Nolan Arenado FAILS to FIX Angels 3rd Base | Free Agent or In-House?"
Episode Synopsis
The Los Angeles Angels face a critical decision at third base; should they pursue a trade for Nolan Arenado, sign standout Kazuma Okamoto, or promote from within with prospects like Denzer Guzmán and Oswald Peraza? The Super Halo Bros., Jon and Mike Frisch, break down the statistical red flags surrounding Arenado’s declining bat, weigh the risk-reward of a major investment in Okamoto from Japan’s NPB, and explore why in-house options may not provide enough punch for a contending lineup. Key discussion points include last season’s defensive woes at third, hard-hit trends, and what the Angels must prioritize to transform their roster. The conversation highlights the urgency to balance run prevention with lineup depth, potential trade capital, and how Perry Minasian’s “win-now” mentality will shape the approach. Who should anchor third base as the Angels look to become real competitors in the AL West?GET IN OUR VOICEMAIL!
