1. $19.25 million a year.

   Yeah I’m good with the Angels not doing that.

2. Oh man I got so scared reading that headline. I’m ok giving him another shot, but 38 big ones? No way

3. Totally fine with this

4. Coulda paid Joe Blanton a lot less for an 8+ ERA.

5. market value for pitching quickly ticking upwards

6. He’s not gonna have fun in that park lol

7. What the actual fuck lol

8. The market this offseason is super inflated good lord.

9. The price for Snell and Montgomery just went up lol

10. This certainly raised the spending bar higher. Angels are gonna have to overpay even more than usual for a FA starter. If they can find one that wants to sign here, that is

11. how did giolito get that money

12. To be expected he gets close to 20 million, if guys like Wacha and Lugo got 15/16 million a year.

    Probably means Montgomery will be in the 25-30 million range and Snell probably close to what Gerrit Cole is making a year.
