Five intriguing in-house candidates are in the mix right along with them, which makes 10 players fighting for three spots on the bench. View the full article

   Jered Weaver got ready in a way he never really has before this offseason. He worked on his offspeed pitches prior to Spring Training for the first time, in anticipation of getting stretched out early, and trained with massage therapist Yoichi Terada to "get all the limbs and everything feeling up to par." His work paid off in his first start of spring. View the full article

    Bud Norris 1 2

    • 1.6k views

    (08:19 am ET) Orioles pitcher Bud Norris is drawing trade interest, according to MASN. Rival teams are keeping an eye on Norris, especially if the Orioles decide to sign another starter. Despite bringing in Ubaldo Jimenez during the offseason, the club is still in the hunt for Ervin Santana. If Santana were to be brought in, Norris could lose his rotation spot. Last year, Norris posted a 4.18 ERA in 176 2/3 innings. Would you? I mean, the O's have Gausman, Bundy and Britton as well, and we could probably get him for cheap or a lower end prospect I'm thinking. Seems to pitch well in Anaheim (and against of course).

    Angels, Trout discussing six-year, $140M deal 1 2 3 4

    February 27, 2014 by Chuck

    • 81 replies
    • 3.7k views

    A source tells USA Today's Bob Nightengale that the Angels and outfielder Mike Trout are negotiating a six-year contract extension worth around $140 million. The prospective deal would keep Trout with the Angels through the 2020 season. Talks of a long-term extension has been reported in recent days, and with Trout's new $1 million salary for 2014 out of the way the two sides can focus on hammering something out. Previous reports from Yahoo! Sports' Jeff Passan had the deal in the seven-year, $150-160 million range, but either way, it seems like only a matter of time before the two sides agree on a deal that will pay the 22-year-old a whole lot of money.

    Reports once indicated that Mike Trout's representatives and the Angels were discussing a six-year, $150 million deal. That could still happen after his $1 million 2014 contract. In fact, getting this piece of the puzzle in place probably increases the odds of a lucrative extension. View the full article

A little blurb: ANGELS Projection: +1.3 standard deviations Reality: +0.3 Difference: -1.1 This, despite Mike Trout over-performing.

    Alden Gonzalez Mike Trout has agreed to terms on a one-year deal for 2014. Talks for extension ongoing. Important thing about this: agreement, not renewal. Alden Gonzalez Trout got exactly $1M. #Angels Jeff Fletcher Last year when Trout was renewed it meant his salary was assigned without his agreement. This year he agreed. #Angels The way that is worded tells me that the extension announcement is probably coming soon.
