For.some other team.

I think Kole will get a four year deal ... why not. I will miss him in RF but looking forward to watching Jo Adell sparkle on the field. 

Kole has always been one of my favorite players ... some lucky team will get him.

The most likely deal will be a 2 year with a team option for a 3rd.  A 1 year deal is more likely than a 4 year deal.

While Calhoun drove me nuts at times, I enjoyed watching him play.  Great defense and his arm was awesome.  If Pujols wasn't here taking up space, I'd say resign Calhoun at a lower amount and let him play 1B.

No way he gets a four year deal.

With the many options at OF, I highly doubt he'll get a 4 year deal.  He'll be lucky to even get a 1 year starting OF offer from a team.

Kole probably won’t get a 3 year deal and if he does it will be for like $24 million, but probably less.

and btw, Brian Goodwin had a 109 wRC+.  Kole's was 108.  Plus, Goodwin's defense is RF was solid.  Oh and Goodwin is super cheap and mostly a placeholder for Adell.  

 

While Goodwin is decent for a placeholder, I think the Angels may feel Adell could be ready in 2020.

Puig would be too distracted landing his obviously perfect douche endorsement deal.

Puig playing along side of Trout would probably tame him. Dude has talent but just needs to settle down his emotions.

Even Jesus couldn’t help Hamilton. That guy was fighting his demons.

MLB Trade Rumors is predicting a 1 year,  $6M deal for Calhoun in free agency.

That's what I was thinking.  

Depending on Arte's budget, and what objectives the Angels can meet early in the offseason, that might be worthwhile...   but  if Kole has a similar offer on a team with less competition on the horizon, I'd imagine he'd chose the other team.  Yeah, he'd like to come back, but at the risk of fighting for at bats next year?  That affects his value next year.

So long, Kole.  You were fun to watch and root for.  I'll still be rooting for him.

Sign him for the 6 million and platoon him pujols with Pujols at 4th OF

[Vlad27Trout27]

I don't really see a team out there trying to sign Kole on the top of my head... .. most teams Outfield seems to be set, idk maybe the pirates, that jerry's team, maybe Red Sox ( if they trade JBJ), White Sox, who else....?

I think we will have a good chance to resign him if money is available to that 1yr 6mil contract.

He will absolutely get a one year deal to be a starting right fielder.  

[tdawg87]

1/6? I'd be absolutely happy with that.
