Same song can be played anytime the Angels sign a middling SP to a one year deal.

That's...That's an awful comparison.

How much did Ohtani cost?

Not sure what you are referencing...he chose the Angels for reason's other than the signing money.  It is a reminder that we don't know what motivates every player to sign with a particular team....except @Tank.....only because of his lunch meetings.

This is definitely true.

This is a dumb assessment of Arte

Like I said… he spends plenty. He doesn’t always spend wisely.

Signing top of the market free agents on the wrong side of 30?

I've seen this movie before.

Tough to pay a 37 year old $100M+ for the next 3 years.

Scherzer in 7 starts now with the Dodgers:

5-0

1.05 ERA.

Yeah, I think he's still good.

You love the dodgers more than my friends who love the dodgers.

[HanfordGuy]

Yes, I think we should target Scherzer…the deal will work out for the Angels.

That's a non sequitur.

I simply looked up his stats since they got him. That doesn't follow that I "love the dodgers".

Of course it doesn't.

 

But you do.

Scherzer is not signing with Angels. He will use halos just like Bauer and Cole did to jack up price before he signs with Dodgers.

I’ve seen zero evidence the Angels were in on Bauer, that was all Mets.  That being said, I did want the Angels to sign Bauer.  I am glad they didn’t and will readily admit I was wrong.

I've got some bad news man. Whoever buys the team from Arte will also be a billionaire.

I'll give you some time.

Well we had the 12 days of Bauer or whatever

I am sure the next owner will be a billionaire.  But here is some bad news for you and the new owner.  The next owner will be paying 10 times what Arte spent on the team.  Billionaires don’t like losing money.  More than likely the next owner will take on debt, something Arte has never had to do.  I can’t imagine Arte will sell the land surrounding the stadium, so the new owner will be paying rent as well, something Arte never had to do.  So unless one of those crazy rich billionaires buys the team in cash and wants to feed his ego buy spending some money and keeping up with the Gugenheims then I think this is one of those cases where the grass isn’t always greener.
