Say what you like about the Dodgers but I have to admit that they do what it takes to win.

That is very true and the Angels do what it takes to lose. Arte should change the teams name to bad news Angels of Anaheim

Then why do you care what minor leaguers get paid? You're not getting any of it.

What pivot? 

I'm consistent. Don't care how Arte spends his money on major or minor leaguers. 

You can't say the same.

Props to the Dodgers. Sick lineup. Bellinger's still gonna suck though. Can't stand their fans but I love their front office.

I don't think the situations are remotely comparable.  And I also have no idea why you're dragging that conversation into this thread, anyway.

What about Mantle, Grich, Carlton, Bob Horner, Michael Fulmer, Cookie Rojas, Bob Dernier, Mookie Wilson, John Stearns, Lloyd Waner, Fats Fothergill, and Claude Osteen, though? 

You forgot Mordecai “Three Finger” Brown.

[Angels 1961]

Trevor Story and Carlos Correa still out there. Who do they sign with?

It's the cast of the upcoming reboot of Gilligans Island.  Arte' will be playing the role of "The Billionaire."
