MorUpton owed $88.5M over four years after this season. #Tigers’ intent in deal apparently would be to clear his money.

Holy moly

[JarsOfClay]

I hope this isnt true..... this team never learns lol

[Chuck]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!

YES!!!

[DMVol]

Holy shit Batman....

[Cdaniel]

Wow!  Wonder what we will have to give up.

[totdprods]

Source adds to The Athletic: Upton opt-out not part of talks. #Angels apparently prepared to acquire him regardless. Likely limits return.

[DMVol]

May not cost much since he is likely opting out of his contract...

[Stradling]

Holy crap.

[m0nkey]

I imagine he'll opt out of the remaining 4/$88.5 left on his contract.  Hopefully that brought his price down

If history is any indication, it's going to be Adell, Meyer, and Jones to Detroit.

Hopefully we aren't giving up much if he has an opt-out after this year.

I'm hoping he wants to be a part of the Trout era and stays...

Cool beans (I hate that phrase) but if this really is a short-term rental I have to imagine we won't be giving up a terrible amount. Makes you wonder what we do with Maybin though.

[Stradling]

So, what do we do with Revere and Maybin, both who have been playing pretty well.

[mulwin444]

Holy...that would be huge.  He clearly would upgrade LF

Agree.  Perfect guy for the 3 spot in the lineup  just thinking he would get more from some team (maybe the angels) if he were to opt out

You are insane if you don't want Upton in LF for this team.  Insane.  He is a 5 WAR player this year.

[Chuck]

Now let's just hope it's not one of our TOP prospects. 

Please no Adell, Jones, Barria or Hermosillo.

[Dick B Back]

Pounders straight up!

[CanadianHalo]

HOLY F*CKING SHIT

 

GONNA GO CRANK ONE OUT QUICK THEN ILL BE BACK TO FAP SOME MORE

[totdprods]

Just so y'all know, since the 2016 ASB (193 G)...
.270/.350/.561/.910 with 46 doubles, a triple, 50 home runs, 143 RBI

Justin Upton this season: 28 HR. #Angels LF since start of 2015 season: 27 HR.

I don't think they're getting Upton to platoon....
