What about the 2020 version?

That's a long time ago. Bundy, Tepera, and Will Myers were good then too. I don't see them having a resurgence.

Okay

 

Your opinion. I have a good reason to believe otherwise.

A little elaboration would go a long way towards making your case.

I'm not necessarily calling BS, but what you got?

You don't have to give up any sources to share a few details, if indeed you have any.

Again, this is coming directly from a national baseball media celeb, who most of us know. I had the pleasure of having him join our office crew for dinner last weekend. Great guy who loves to talk baseball. When l asked about Rendon, he stated that the guys is known to have a horrible attitude, and now actually hates baseball. He doesn’t want to play anymore, but can’t afford to walk away from all that money. He said to expect more of the same for the next 3 years. He called Arte the Jerry Jones of MLB.

He can't afford to walk away from all that money?

He has $178 million already in the bank.

Still not enough for me.  Some media people have agendas. 

And what kind of a "baseball media celeb" spouts gossip like that with a bunch of people I assume he doesn't know very well or only knows casually?

 

[T.G.]

Let me just add this...

Even if NJHalo knows this guy well.  I'm going to assume he told NJ this information in confidence.  Correct me if I'm wrong.  And yet... the information gets posted on a public message board?  Really? That's messed up, IMO.

It was a one on one conversation.

Regardless, did share this information in confidence?

What gives? Why the constant second guessing? Chuck knows who it is, and knows that he is a credible source. This my second time meeting with him, and after dinner and drinks, we were just talking about baseball. His comments about Rendon and Arte were spoken in conversation, and not as a “l have a secret, but promise you won’t tell anyone “ . I am not dropping his name, so l don’t see the issue with sharing some Angels info with a group that would be interested. He had plenty else to say about MLB that l won’t bother to add.

I just don't like the lynch mob like mentality among some fans and your statement adds fuel to that fire.

I also don't know if your contact was simply expressing his opinion and you took it as fact and ran with it. There's a difference. Again, I don't know.

I am not trying to organize a lynch mob, but rather add some substance and insider information that I hope gives another layer of clarity to a hot topic here that continues to linger with no end in sight. I asked a question, and he expanded on it. This wasn’t speculation, it was his knowledge and experience, and he has dealt with Rendon. It was nothing new that hadn’t already been discussed here. I will be meeting with him again in the next few weeks, and now that he knows l am an Angels fan, l am sure he will give me a few more stories.

I wasn't suggesting that you were organizing a lynch mob. I appreciate your explaining the context. I'll drop it now.
