Reaction: Angels fans share controversial opinions on social media

Angels beat writer Jeff Fletcher reached out on social media asking Angels fans to share their most controversial opinions between Games 1 and 2 of a doubleheader against the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday.

Here are some of what the fans had to say:

Arte Moreno should keep the team

Blasphemy 😂 good one

The Angels actually SHOULDN’T sign Ohtani in the off-season, even if he’s willing. Our best hitter & pitcher in one body, at that price, is at best going to make it hard to improve the roster in other positions & at worst taking out your best pitcher & hitter with 1 injury

It was a bad idea to buy at the deadline, not in just in retrospect.

Angels would be in a much better position today had they traded Trout at the peak of his career—before signing his lucrative extension. Just think of what they could’ve hauled back in top prospects. 🤔

The angels should’ve continued to develop Jared Walsh as a two way player and had him be available in middle inning situations. Was probably more controversial when he was an all star two years ago.

That’s not very controversial. He’s 32. No one is better after 32 than before 32. (At least, not since steroid testing started.)

They should of traded Mike Trout in 2018 for most of the 2016 Chicago Cubs, and they shoulda traded Shohei Ohtani at the 2023 deadline for 4 MLB quality starters plus 4-6 high level prospects.

Blow up the rocks, put a couple food trucks there with decent food, sell the radio station, let kids under 12 in free, move the press box back to behind home plate .

I don’t think we need a full rebuild after this season 🤷🏼‍♀️
