Thank god.

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

Less money per year even, can't hate that. That was a pretty great trade.

 

[Voight]

This worked out tremendously for the Angels.

I figured he'd resign, doubt Moreno would let him go over a money issue.

 

[Reality Check]

Upton gambled and won. Also secured a full no-trade clause to boot.

 

[rangerssharks414]

The trade looks better and better.

 

[rent free]

good for both sides. upton get paid and plays in a place where he wanted to play, while the angels get him at a good salary

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Angels had to lock somebody up before Trout grows frustrated and asks for a trade.

 

[darko]

Good deal for both.

They better get a frontline starter or two.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

And a new manager

 

[MMC]

I was happy about this at first, but Upton is declining fast. Could be another albatross.
