I almost worry its simply because cole is getting so expensive...

Either way, still rather have cole for way too much than cozart, even for a dollar.

yep.  We’ll see.  Hopefully some aspect of this circus gets some resolution soon.

Careful, we *assumed* we had enough payroll.  Still unclear what Arte will actually do.  It’s absolutely great news on the huge signing front though. 

This. We don’t know how much Arte is willing to spend. Using the luxury tax as a marker is unwise.

Now here's hoping we get an Albert retirement announcement soon!

What if they freed up Cozart's contract to extend Albert?

I love the idea of getting Rendon but we need pitching.

Fletcher telling us to not jump to conclusions, is like telling water to not be wet.

It's what we were born to do.

If were not getting cole, id almost be cool with this, just for the site traffic.

AO alone would be worth it.

Or bring on a hard hitting left hander with a cocaine addiction?

Can you imagine a top of the order with Fletcher, Trout, Rendon and Ohtani?

[UndertheHalo]

Absolutely.  Would be incredible to get Rendon.  But the principal needs remains Cole.

I'm not using the luxury tax.

Question now is where does Cozart rank in the worst FA signings we have ever had

All this means is we are making noise and Arte is 100% committed at this point. This is gonna be exciting.

 

We are getting a superstar whether it be Cole or Rendon and that exciting. Trout will finally have proper protection. Can you imagine a top of the order with Fletcher, Trout, Rendon and Ohtani? 

 

Holy shit.

That is a pretty damn good looking lineup.

 

Only downside is that it appears all offers on Rendon are for 7 years, and he turned down a $210-$215m offer from the Nats at the end of last season, so I am guessing Rendon's deal will be closer to Strasburg, and honestly I'm not that bullish on Rendon, but hey, not my money.

Arte dumping payroll, they won’t sign anyone and he’ll say we tried and he’s $13M richer.

and the Angels will still sell 3 million tickets.

That does seem oddly specific if it's just a coincidence.

I would be displeased if our big move is a trade for Price
