Dang, I just saw this scouring the internet on Duck signings... what the heck happened? Suicide, drugs?

Also last year, Trout’s brother in law who was also an Angels prospect.So sad . Tyler Skaggs was drafted in 2009 just 2 months after Nick Adenhart died and now 10 years after that draft he has died
They had also lost a player in December 2018 when Luis Valbuena died in a car accident.
So thats 2 players gone from the 2018 team
Why do these things happen to the players of this team
Donnie Moore
Nick Adenhart
Tommy Hanson
Luis Valbuena
Tyler Skaggs.
I don't want to speculate given how much has happened to this team over the past 10 years, i do know as personalities go that the late Robin Williams was thought of in the same way that everyone was drawn to and one of the greatest personalities in history of his profession.Also last year, Trout’s brother in law who was also an Angels prospect.
This organization has had enough of this ****. Awful, awful news. Skaggs was a good pitcher and seemed like he had a super personality that everyone was drawn to. You could see it in any interview or video feature he was ever in.
If they think Adell is ready, they won't pick up his option.Kole Calhoun .810 OPS 2.2 WAR. From 2018 having the worst season of his career to having the best season of his career in 2019 but its also happening in a season he has just a option year left & the Angels have to decide if they will trade him or keep him & pick up the 14mil option for 2020 or keep him, decline & he becomes a FA in 2020.
They got to trade him then.If they think Adell is ready, they won't pick up his option.
If I were an Angel fan, I might prefer Calhoun to Upton. But Upton's contract is probably untradeable. Adell looks like a flat stud, can't see them blocking him for long.They got to trade him then.
I don't believe he's really having a breakout year and that he's playing this well because he wants get a new contract extension or at worse is decline of his option and signs a 5 year deal with another team followed by going back to a .650 to .700 OPS. Its like Fowler during that contract year when he got re-signed and then went back to firing muffins at other teams D-mens shin pads.
