He's not a wimpy baseball player. He's a legend.

Giants are a totally different team since the Rams totally dominated them.

Yeah, I'm fine if they don't do a QO and then still sign him--but they better be damn sure they've got a great shot at doing so if they don't offer him one.

Gives them a year to sort out the back end of the pen.

To directly answer the question re-signing is a smart move.

However, our budget will not accommodate Iglesias and one of the better available starters, so it seems less likely.

What good is it to have lights out SPing only for the bullpen to blow it in the late innings? How many no decisions did Ohtani have because the pen couldn't hold the lead? Late inning relief is as important as any other aspect of the game.

Ace, it was simply a comment about resource allocation. I clearly said at the beginning of that statement that re-signing Iglesias is a smart move. But when you spend resources (money and prospects) you invariably end up having to make a choice of where and why to spend it. At no point did I suggest it was a bad move, simply that the Angels will make a choice that could potentially leave one area, not as strong, and another stronger.
