I suspect he's looking at $400M over 10 years.

 

[kassifan]

Pay the man. Worth every damn penny he is asking for.

 

[IcyPatriot]

He is worth more on the west coast ..
But if not the Yankees ... who else for east coast?

i would not want to trade for him...the cost in prospects would kill a farm system THEN you still have to negotiate the largest contract ever. Just wait until he hit FA

Welp

For some reason I didn't think he was turning 30 next year either

Obviously the extent of the injury is the biggest thing, but it's going to be a lower contract than I was thinking

If the Angels are out of the playoff hunt, he should just shut it down now and get whatever procedure he needs done.
But this is tragic for his financial forecast. How's he going to buy groceries? Good thing CA has a healthy public safety net system.
