If winning is all that matters, the Yankees are obviously the choice. 
 

If he cares about other things (lifestyle, etc), the Angels have a shot. 

And that right there is what needs to change and why some of us have been bitching about wasting seasons.
Convincing people to come build a winner after a 90 loss season is kinda rough.

I see what you are saying, but I'll raise you 2003-2004 off season

Best thing ever said. If he cares about winning the Yankees are the choice. If he doesn’t care about winning Angels are the choice.

No

I almost think Jeff heard the Angels offer and was shocked. I’m guessing we went crazy money. Like 7/280 or some nonsense.

I think this is probably more likely than the Angels being on the verge of actually signing him, as I'd think that the usual suspects (Passan, Rosenthal) would be on this by now.

There is a lot of meme opportunity for sure.

I'm thinking he also got wind of the Angels' offer.

That’s what I think it is. He knows the Angels offer and it’s huge.

[Docwaukee]

I really don't think he bothers unless it's more than just the offer.  

[Stradling]

Maybe it is something completely different like Albert is retiring.  Or a trade but the players haven’t been notified yet.

I believe that this is @Jeff Fletcher saying we’ll have to wait until morning.

in the last 19 years, we've won as many WS titles as the yankees and dodgers . . . combined.

@Lou I tweeted this after your post here, so you get all the credit for the love it received.  

You also get creds if Cole signs with the Halos since I @ him in my tweet.

Or maybe he saved a bundle on his car insurance by switching to GEICO.
