I'm glad he owns the Angels, too, but what he's basically saying is, "I promised something I'm not going to deliver." He's a great owner, but it's pretty disappointing to hear him say that. In essence, he's admitting that there will be no "major splash" this off-season.
And yes, Arte, you DO give up a young starter and reliever for a hitter. As long as it's not Ervin, of course
