Second fiddle on his second-fiddle team
Rendon may regret it someday. Money can't buy you love ... or the playoffs. Way too many strong teams in the AL for the Angels to make the playoffs anytime soon - much less make a deep run - unless they make some huge moves.
Lock up Trea and Soto now....
And it’s done. 7/245.Thanks for everything, Tony Two Bags and good luck in Anaheim.
Makes me really appreciate the loyalty and character of one Stephen Strasburg
I'm on board your sentiment, but we've also now paid Strasburg 360 million. Rizzo values and pays for big FA pitchers, but not position players. I think there is a market scarcity factor at work there and his strategy has served us pretty well.
Market scarcity.... who plays 3rd base?
At this point I think they are rightfully confident in identifying, landing, and developing hitters through the draft and IFA. Homegrown SP has been much more elusive.
