The Los Angeles Angels acquired slugging first baseman Mark Teixeira from the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday, a bold trade that further bolsters the team with the best record in the major leagues. (irontontribune.com)
Except for the 2012-2013 offseason (which was a disaster that included dealing away Ervin Santana for nothing, trading for Tommy Hanson , and signing Joe Blanton and Sean Burnett ), Dipoto just did alright heading up the Angels. (mlbdailydish.com)
Angels trade Chatwood for catcher Iannetta. (halosheaven.com)
Oh, and if Reagins were still the GM, I'd be VERY nervous Soriano would be finding his way into an Angels uniform. (halosheaven.com)
Jo Adell's a stud, Brandon Marsh might be, too, but many of the other players with upside in this system took steps back last year or were hurt, and then the Angels traded away their first-rounder to clear Zack Cozart's salary, so the system as a whole is in worse shape relative to their competitors than it was a year ago . (crashingthepearlygates.com)
The argument usually goes: "but the Angels could do that too if they traded away their stars! (crashingthepearlygates.com)
Mike Trout1
During the 2009 season, Reagins and his front office selected Mike Trout with the 25th pick in that year's draft. (wikipedia.org)
Vernon Wells1
Seriously though, for some reason Mike Scioscia thinks catcher's ERA actually matters and that is why Mike Napoli was traded away for Vernon Wells. (southsidesox.com)
Atlanta Braves2

Dipoto did an ok job, even though the decision not to do more at the trade deadline may have kept them out of the wild card game. (mlbdailydish.com)
Major trades1
Nonetheless, it's likely to be rather galling to have the farm judged by the keystone media organization of professional baseball as a bottom-five system, especially after four years of losing based in part on a draft-and-develop strategy with pronounced avoidance of major trades and a clear verbally-reinforced target of a "top five" system in short order. (crashingthepearlygates.com)
Prospects2
They haven't traded away 15 pitching prospects in the last five years. (angelswin.com)
The rest of these teams traded pretty good prospects for proven players who sucked. (baseballthinkfactory.org)
Season5
Yes, to beat a dead horse, I still believe the Halos should have sign DeJesus before the 2011 season instead of trading for Wells. (halosheaven.com)
Either way this is the best trade juice of the season so far. (mlbdailydish.com)
I've heard the argument that the Braves should take advantage of Vazquez's stellar 2009 season and trade him for the best power hitter they can find. (blogspot.com)

Getting Hector Santiago and Tyler Skaggs for Mark Trumbo , but he didn't even come out of that three-way trade with the best player, as Adam Eaton has become a great outfielder for the White Sox , and Skaggs has gone down to Tommy John surgery. (mlbdailydish.com)
Teams1
Vazquez can turn down any trade to teams in the NL West and AL West. (blogspot.com)
Make1
They make good strategic trades without eviscerating the MLB club, complement them with under-the-radar MLB talent, and they graduate players aggressively, often with productive results. (crashingthepearlygates.com)
Worst3
Many widely respected baseball analysts considered the Wells trade one of the worst trades in the modern era of Major League Baseball. (wikipedia.org)
Hernandez doesn't really count, so I think the Cone for three nothings trade is the worst there. (baseballthinkfactory.org)
Baseball1
Now a successful businessman, entrepreneur and CEO, Matt became fascinated with trading baseball cards at the Club which he identifies as one of his first introductions to business decision-making. (coastguardmwr.org)

Napoli2
Toronto then traded Napoli to the Texas Rangers , where he batted .320 with 30 home runs and a stellar .1045 OPS. (espn.com)
But we hate Meddling Hyde who could have not traded Napoli for Wells and not signed Josh Hambone and probably had his second decade of division titles with those two simple Non-Moves. (crashingthepearlygates.com)
Baseman1
Or, they could look to trade for a hitter such as Jermaine Dye, Paul Konerko, Garrett Atkins or Joey Votto, a 25-year-old first baseman who batted .297 with 24 homers and 84 RBIs for Cincinnati in 2008. (latimes.com)

Days2
Two days later, Reagins signed free agent outfielder Torii Hunter to a 5-year, $90 million contract. (wikipedia.org)
It seems unlikely that the Jays will be able to get equivalent value in a trade for Halladay, as these days teams are reluctant to move their prospects, so I'm wondering if there's anything apart from custom to stop Toronto from trading him for straight cash instead? (baseballprospectus.com)
Yankees1
Reagins was preceded in this distinction by Bill Lucas of the Atlanta Braves, Bob Watson of the Houston Astros and New York Yankees, and Kenny Williams of the Chicago White Sox. (wikipedia.org)
