The Official 2022 Spring Training Hot Stove Thread

[Docwaukee]

the money for 2022 is almost all spent.  Please stop bringing up names like Bryant, Correa and Story.  There's about 10-15m left to spend for this year and an Ohtani contract coming soon.

Free Agent signings and Trades can happen NOW! Let's go!

So happy to see this thread.. I will probably be sad by tomorrow the end of the night though!

[Chuck]

Carlos Correa, Kris Bryant or a trade for another starting pitcher?

Thoughts?

[mmc]

My thoughts are that you should go with something like a Whistle Pig.

Probably Eastern.  I think all of their deadlines have been on Eastern time.

I'm hoping for central time.

Assuming budget stays the same. Spotrac has them at 159,100,000 base salary plus $2.25 in weird signing bonus money that was already paid.

2021 the Angels finished the year at $177,901,100 in adjusted salary. So that's like 16M. But budget may have increased, seeing as the lux tax line was just raised. They don't want to exceed tax usually.

the lux tax has never had anything to do with the halos/Arte's budget.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume everyone is in the best shape of their life.

Agreed, though last year and in other years they've come close in terms of Lux Tax Payroll, but I doubt he wants to exceed it.

Eagerly awaiting the first BSOHL article.

12 minutes to Correa signing with the Yankees.

[greginpsca]

Wondering how much Arte's budget might increase, considering all the money from  new Streaming tv deals, . if at all.

When do we get our first bullshit Scott Boras planted Jon Heyman rumor?
