As we all wait for the next big Jack Zduriencik master piece to take place (Is Jose Lopez really on his way out?) all we can do is monitor the rest of the league. Interestingly enough the Angels have traded their 4th outfielder and his $23 million contract to the New York Mets for relief pitcher Brian Stokes. As if trading a center fielder for a reliever wasn't bad enough, it's reported the Angels will also send over $21 million of the $23 million owed on Matthews' contract.
We'll let that sink in for a moment...
HOLY SHIT! This gives a little bit of an idea of how much the Angels really hated Gary Matthews Jr. Not only did they trade him for a 30-year-old reliever but they're going to pay nearly his entire salary.
I'm glad we don't have to worry about signing ridiculously over-priced contracts to players who don't fill a specific need in our organization any longer.
