A special thanks to the Angels for the opportunity to be a part of their system, but there’s work to be done in Fort Worth. I’m fired up to play one more season in the purple and white! Go frogs!!

I understand why the man values his freedom, but his leash may be getting short. 

Too much?

Fourth-rounder Kyle Bradish's bonus from @Angels is $400k (pick 121 value = $455,700). New Mexico State RHP, 92-96 mph fastball, curveball can be plus, cutter & changeup also effective, Trackman darling. @MLBDraft
