Angels Don't Go Gentle Into Winter Meeting Night

ST. LOUIS, MO - OCTOBER 30:  Mark McGwire uses an iPad to take a photo of Albert Pujols of the St. Louis Cardinals during a ceremony celebrating the team's 11th World Series championship October 30, 2011 in St. Louis, Missouri. (Photo by Whitney Curtis/Getty Images)

Star-divide

The Moon rises over an offseason landscape that is quite the same as the one the sun rose over earlier today. Yes I write crap like this when I don't know what to write. We woke up wondering if C.J. Wilson was going to sign with the Angels and whether the Albert Pujols rumors were serious.

A day later Tim Brown at Yahoo Sports assures us the Angels are seriously bidding for Albert's services and John Morosi of wherever John Morosi is from assures us he expects CJ to sign on Anaheim's dotted line.

Meanwhile Mark Buehrle went to Miami for 4/58 and the Angels picked up lefty reliever Methuselah, er, LaTroy Hawkins for 1 year/ $3million.

This is your evening thread to discuss all the Angels and baseball related stuff out there. I might alter this paragraph radically if big news breaks, but comment per community guidelines and your own sense of decorum.

Last update on ESPN Trade chat

was that Wilson was asking Angels for 6th year to match Marlins offer.

Morosi reported.

That someone involved in talks expects CJ to sign with Angels for five years.

Mathis is finally gone. Only good things can happen now.

Just now from MLB trade rumors

A “Pujols associate” tells Jon Heyman of MLB Network that it would probably take “$40MM more” from a team besides the Cardinals for Pujols to leave St. Louis (Twitter link).
C.J. Wilson is seriously considering signing with the Angels, in which case the Halos would almost certainly be out on Pujols, tweets Rosenthal.
Within a piece at FOX Sports, Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi write that the Angels had a “lengthy set of negotiations” with agent Dan Lozano today.

I couldn't come up with anything witty. Damn it.

He deserves to be the highest paid player - Per Year

I heard on MLB TV that 10 yrs/$200 million obviously averages out to $20mil/yr, and three other 1B make more than that – Howard, Tex, and A. Gonzalez.

It makes sense the Angels could land him for $24-25 mil/yr if the Cards aren’t willing to go near that – it would/should take that amount to get him away from St. Louis and the NL.

I haven’t commented on this yet, but I’d be all in favor of signing him.

I know there is a ridiculous entry price for proven vets, but I’m not sure I can stomach another fatty contract paid to an aging star (or an aging… pretty good player for that matter).

Pujols is no Vaughn or Wells, but just thinking about those contracts make me incredibly queasy.

by bc56274 on Dec 7, 2011 9:14 PM PST reply actions   1 recs

I've been gathering info from a few people at the Winter Meetings

and the consensus is that CJ really wants to sign the Angels deal purely based on location. His Agent has been pushing for a sixth year but the Angels refuse to flex their offer. Dipoto and company also have been back and forth with Dan Lozano all afternoon trying to gauge Pujols’ interest with Anaheim and word is the two sides have come really close to completing a deal worth above 200 million with the no trade. The Length of the proposed deal is 8 yrs with option. Its very unlikely the team would break the bank for both, but a few execs around the league say they wouldn’t write off such a scenario.

I will say that if the cards are offering 200 million

The Angels offering 220 seems like it wouldn’t get it done. At that much money what’s another 20 million? The only reason Pujols would do it is if he hates STL and wants to be in a big market. But I’m not sensing that here.

If we did sign Pujols

Then that would pretty much make us the offseason winners by default. Screw the Marlins.

I mean, getting Pujols, Iannetta, Hawkins and then some good ole addition by subtraction with letting Mathis go. Holy crap.

Though I bet we’re going to get Wilson instead, which will still make a good offseason. After hearing that we’re after Pujols, I’m sort of hoping that Wilson will sign with Marlins so that we can go after Albert.

Also, maybe Pujols can play some 3B for the time being?

I still think Pujols would be an awesome addittion,

but does anyone else find the fact that he had the worst year of his career last year just a bit disconcerting? Obviously, Pujols’ worst is better than most others’ best, but it still worries me a little.

I have to admit

The tv coverage by both MLBN and ESPN has been awful. If it wasn’t for twitter this might suck.

Mathis is finally gone. Only good things can happen now.

They all make you stab forks in your eyes, but that can be entertaining.

I agree

But if we do sign Wilson and the Pujols rumors don’t go away… They’re bringing the house and I would like our chances at that point.

They said Pujols

Will Not make decision at winter meetings. Thats it i’m sleeping

WOW.

The #Angels say that they can afford to sign both Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson, shelling out in excess of $300 milliion.

The Cardinals planned to talk with Pujols’ agent one more time Thursday before heading home. But ESPN The Magazine’s Buster Olney reported that the Cardinals’ latest offer was for only nine years — not the 10-year, $220-million bid that was reported by the St. Louis Post Dispatch at one point Wednesday morning.

And one source who spoke with Pujols’ camp came away with the impression the two sides were farther apart than had been widely portrayed earlier in the day.

USA Today reported that the Angels, who didn’t meet with Lozano until Wednesday, made a 10-year offer worth at least $210 million

this sounds encouraging for us

I dont know if the Cards and Pujols will be able to heal their wounds. JeDi has his shot, Marlins out, I dont know who else would compete? Cubs not likely, MAYBE the Nats?

I will now predict the Angels front office comments after the winter meetings:

“Well, we missed out on Pujols, Fielder, and CJ Wilson, we did solidify the bullpen by signing veteran LaTroy Hawkins. We are excited to bring him into the fold.”

I've got nothing.

and we'll be trading Howie to SF for Barry Zito

oh wait that would have been last year

arte sign someone. You dont want to see a grown man cry, do you?

by Frank158369 on Dec 8, 2011 12:05 AM PST reply actions  

Here's a possibility

sign Wilson; trade Voodoo for Hanley Ramirez (and then have Torii talk him into playing third). I know he was fat and lazy for the Marlins, but so was Cabnrera, and he kinda turned it around.

Well, come see a fat old man some time!
