The Los Angeles Angels essentially threw in the towel on the 2023 season on Tuesday, after it was announced that players like Matt Moore, Hunter Renfroe, Randal Grichuk, and Lucas Giolito were placed on waivers. What essentially amounts to a salary dump comes less than a month after the Angels went "all in," and the team's poor performance in August all but reduced their playoff hopes to 0%. It's a very Arte Moreno move, and while there is definitely nuance to the decision that does help put the Angels in a better place down the road, it certainly didn't inspire hope in fans at all. Mike and Jon break down what happened, what baseball writers are saying, explain what the Angels are thinking here, and get you up to speed on the situation and our thoughts on the matter.

Then, it's not a repeat episode; the Angels gave away another lead against the Phillies on Tuesday night, after Tyler Anderson and company surrendered 6 runs to Philadelphia, leading to a 12-7 loss. Randal Grichuk must've felt inspired, as he had his best game since becoming an Angel, clearly auditioning for other teams now that he's on waivers. In better news, Nolan Schanuel ties an Angels rookie record! We'll give you a breakdown of the game in segment 2.

Plus, have the Angels started a new trend in baseball? What is it, and is it a good thing for them and the rest of MLB? We'll tell you what it is and what we think in segment 3!
