Marmol is shaky. The Angels should've just signed a free agent closer and kept Haren. The Angels need to re-sign Greinke, and re-signing Hunter too wouldn't be bad either.Quote:

Torii Hunter signed with the Tigers, and I heard on MLB Network Hot Stove that the contract is for 2 years at $26 million. The Angels absolutely dropped the ball on this one.
Yep... but I think Arte is sick of shelling out all the cash for the Angels to underachieve.. =\ Been that way the last 2-3 seasons. What did Torii say he'll stay for? 10 Million?Quote:

Hunter wasn't the one who underachieved though.Quote:

Not disappointed at all.
Looks like Loria has puled the wool over the eyes of his fan base once again. Can't help but feel a little bad for the people of Miami.
The Marlins did get some good prospects from the Blue Jays, but the trades definitely don't help PR. It's weird how so many players come from Florida, yet the teams there don't draw fans too well even if they're winning.Quote:

However, the optics of the trade certainly do not look good - what w/ all the promises Loria made when politicking for a new stadium.Quote:
