I had originally intended to write this post with a title and blank post, because not much has really happened yet. However - there are a few items to update you all on in regards to Angels happenings this week.
Angels are going big. But how big?

Are the Angels going Bryce Harper big?

Private jet flight from Phoenix to Vegas yesterday. The jet also has records of going into John Wayne a lot.

Cowart the Pitcher
Before the Mariners claimed him, the Angels had also planned to move Cowart to the mound. Also in that Fletcher article is this: “New Angels infielder Tommy La Stella is expected to arrive in Arizona early for a “crash course” in playing first base, Eppler said on Monday.”
That’s about all we have. Keep you eyes peeled to Halos Heaven as we’ll have the news if/when it breaks!
