By the time Chuck makes it back here, this place will be trashed.

Chuck needs to find out what the deal is with his fake friend in the org.

Yeah..... that seems super super high for him. 

[UndertheHalo]

I am very concerned about what the Angels are going to do now.  Very concerned.  Goddamnit

[mmc]

By comparison, we're at $45

 

[angelsnationtalk]

Dodgers about to outbid the Angels for everyone else.

[T.G.]

Greatest single day of any hot stove season, ever.

Seager is a great player.  If he’s healthy he’s awesome.  I’m not surprised at all that he got this deal.  I don’t think he has any lingering issues that would lead one to believe he’ll he hurt.
