I posted this because in the other thread I had mentioned his workouts last offseason.
If Ray continues to work as hard as he did last offseason moving forward I’m all for this deal. However, the way he talked about it with his wife getting mad it doesn’t sound like this will be the norm moving forward. Which I then worry he resorts back to the guy who signed a 1yr 8 million dollar deal last offseason.

Based on Ray’s stats at https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/free-agents/starting-pitcher/, I would take a pass on him.  Instead, I would go after another former Cy Young award winner that no one in Angels’ land is even talking about, Corey Kubler.  Yea, I know, he’s older than Ray and may not be what he used to be after surgery, but geez if he is able to recover successfully enough to be 80% of what he once was…….
OMG, take a look at his historical statistics on Spotrac too, they are radically better than any other free agent starting pitcher. I would take him as my 3rd, 4th or even 5th starter in a heartbeat.  He’s a bulldog on the mound and the Angels have a boatload of young pitchers throughout their organization that could learn quite a bit from him on how to take command on the mound.  Go get him on a 1 or 2-yr deal Angels, he’s worth the risk!

58 HR, 144 RBI, 2nd place MVP to Trout who hits 68 HR and finishes with a 1.488 OPS and 13.2 WAR.

What's the lovefest with Gausman?  1 1/2 years of being ok?  Contract year and he becomes Cy Young?  I'd prefer Max for 3 and hope the young kids are ready.

That guy was lucky he didn't get Bauered by a parent.

Cheers to Ohtani.

Fun fact: the Angels have accounted for half of the last eight AL MVP awards.

I'm looking for my prepared post and I can't find it just yet.

ANYONE? 

Thor will need every penny of that contract if that is the case.
