Los Angeles Angels vs. New York Yankees Series Preview, Alex Rodriguez Wanted to be a Halo? "What If" Scenarios and the Consequences

Locked On Angels - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Angels

The Los Angeles Angels get ready for a 3-game set against the New York Yankees at the Big A tonight, and the Super Halo Bros. are here to get you ready for the series! Yankees have been firing on all cylinders this year, especially in the pitching department, and the matchups for each game will prove to be tough challenges for the Halos. Plus, with the likes of Aaron Judge and Juan Soto providing the offense, the Halos have another tall task in front of them with another 1st place team. We'll give you all the details in segment 1!

Then, over the offseason, Alex Rodriguez mentioned that 1 of the 3 teams he wanted to be traded to prior to the 2004 season was the Angels. That was a surprising revelation, but Mike and Jon are here to consider how that would've changed the trajectory of the Halos in the mid-2000s. What players would the Halos given up to get it done? Would they have signed Vladimir Guerrero? Would they have made it to more World Series and get past Boston? And, would the steroid use affect how we would've felt about having him on the team? We'll discuss it all in segments 2 and 3!
