Good to see that he's going to go out on his terms. And not being a nuts condensed season will help. Now I wonder when the Angels will have a Teemu night?
They are definitely making it easier for depth for next year. Makes the offseason a bit easier when you only have to focus IMO on a starting pitcher (Not an ace), reliever, and 3B. With enough depth in the OF, that one could be available for trade.

Interesting that the opt out was extended to 2019. And not just a lease extension.
good thing the Economy won't improve by 2019 for a city to swoop in.

Elbow concerns. Must be more than just bone spurs though. That's a pretty significant drop in price. I'm surprised he didn't shop around after the offer was pulled and a lesser one put in place.
