Except Mike Lowell.

Why do you guys keep looking at these dipshit twitter accounts that opened like a few months ago.  They’re just making shit up.  Come on. Figure it out.

Lol @ettin

It came through the new Topics function on Twitter because i agreed to follow MLB recently and it RT'd it and I assumed it was Passan because I have him as a follow. I have directly removed that MLB topic function and am currently smashing everything in the gym. Sorry 24HourFitness.

Yeah, no. 100% disagree. Only if you think 2019 is their ceiling. 

I’m in a “I’ll believe it when I see it” mindset when it comes to those three. Heaney is past prospect stage at this point, Bundy might get better in this division/park (maybe a #3 at best), and Canning could be pretty good if he both improves and stays healthy. But right now, those are #4/5s.

If 10/360M I’d take a hard pass

Honestly, a 6 or 7 year deal for Rendon seems way more likely to be worth the money than a 10 year deal for Cole.

I have a theory on Eppler’s comments and Arte’s “All In” mentality:

WHAT IF, Arte and Eppler know they are getting Cole? Eppler stated we have room to add multiple players with $20+ mil a year contracts, due to the fact that Cozart is gone.

So they are now getting Cole, and are trying to Add Rendon/Donaldson and potentially Madbum/Price/Ryu etc. 

Basically, Cole gave them some type of acknowledgment that he’s ready for Anaheim. It then allowed the Angels to make that trade involving Cozart and our first round pick with confidence. 
 

They now have more flexibility PLUS Arte’s “All In” mentality to pursue the other top tier free agents. This is my hopeful Halo attitude speaking.
