Bill Shaikin of the LA Times is reporting that the Angels are also interested in George Sherrill. mlbtraderumors's Ben Nicholson-Smith points out that Andy MacPhail is looking for two top prospects in return, although its more likely that he'll get one B+ prospect for Sherrill. However, with reports that the Dodgers, Marlins, and now the Angels are interested in Sherrill it becomes imperative that MacPhail begin using bids against each other and strongly consider not only trading Sherrill but packaging him with other veterans to maximize return. Meaning we could see a trade including Baez and/or Huff for at least one top level prospect and a spare part or two (in the case of Baez, much more for Huff).
The article also mentions that Os scouts were in attendance for the Angels/A's game last night and will probably swing by their Triple- and Double-A affiliates to see what they can get in a trade. But if logic is any indication, MacPhail will focus any trade with the Angels on Brandon Wood and/or Mark Trumbo. They are, after all, aside from Hank Conger (C) and Peter Bourjos (OF), the Angels only position prospects on most lists.
So, Os fans. What say ye of a trade to the Angels? Or do the Dodgers/Marlins make more sense based on the bounty?
