Angels are "in the mix" for Yoenis Cespedes

[Angel Oracle]

I'd maybe offer 4 years/$80 million with a 5th player vested option year for $20 million.

Are we still in the mix?

This offseason the Angels could only afford Chex Mix

I've been standing between the helmets in front of the stadium all day... what time is the press conference?  Where is everyone?

Stuck on the 5. They'll arrive shortly after rush hour.

 

Maybe you can grab some Del Taco with Tony Reagins while you wait.

We're on Arte's boat having caviar and purple drank.  Every so often I throw my head back and belly laugh for no reason.

Day 24 of FA LFers held hostage

 

We pick up the story with the owners determining whether to starch their shirts or not.

Each day the price goes down. The agents are screwing the players because the players need a back bone like Weaver had.

I'm confused.  Isn't the end result the same: less money for the player?  Weaver took a "hometown discount."  The end result of these free agents holding out might be slightly lower contracts--but that's what they would have gotten if they did what Weaver did.

[Stradling]

I guess it depends on when they sign Jason. I'm just guessing guys like Chris Davis were offered more early on than he will be later. So if when Baltimore offered $150 million he should have stepped in and said yes. That's what I meant. But you are right.

Cespedes 3yr/30M sounds good.

Cespedes 3yr/30M sounds good.

+1 and nothing more.

[Angel Oracle]

The probable fair prices?

 

Upton - 5 years/$110 million

Cespedes - 4 years/$85 million

Gordon - 4 years/$70 million
