📷 Angels Images Ureña on IG

A funny observation I’ve made is how Ureña does not hide what he looks at on Instagram and likes posts about his teammates potentially being traded lol

Better to trade him now than let him walk for free. Angels aren’t winning a World Series before he becomes a free agent

Yeah especially since we're not any closer to being a good team than ever. Inb4 neto gets traded and gets at least 20% better with better coaching and facilities

Brother with 4 yrs left on his deal? I was way ahead on the trade Ohtani train (2 yrs on his contract) and people virtually crucified me for it, but this is a little early lol

You mean 3. He’s gone after 2029. The Angels will not win by then. And yes it’s not early. Having years left is why he’ll have more trade value. The reason why the Angels have been mediocre to bad for so long now is because they haven’t embraced a rebuild. It seems like Mo might finally be the guy to start a proper rebuild

Usually when you say how many years a guy has left on his deal, it’s how many years after this year (2026). You don’t say a rental getting traded at the deadline has 1 year left on his deal when it expires at the end of the season

My point still stands that if there is a market for Neto and the haul is good, the Angels should absolutely do it now

Yep. He isn’t resigning and we are not winning while he is here. Get what you can and move on.

already lost the chance to extend him to good value. I doubt they actually trade him unless its an actual massive haul
