After losing out of Carl Crawford the Angels have for the most part been in a standstill. At the beginning of the offseason they were thought to be one of the teams that would be throwing around a lot of money, but since have really done nothing.
Today there are rumors that Scott Boras has informed some teams that he has a five-year, $70 million offer in hand for Beltre, which is thought to be from the Angels. Along with that there are a lot of rumors that they are about to sign Scott Podsednik.
At this point if the Angels are going to compete at all next year Beltre is a must. Yea, I think he is going to do nothing once he signs that contract, but the Angels really could use some offensive power.
Scott Podsednik I guess is the poor mans Carl Crawford. Actually I don't even like that. He has speed, but not as much as he used to, and he is nothing but a band-aid.
***UPDATE***
Maybe it wasn't the Angels that offered that deal... "there are hints that the Halos have dropped out of the Beltre sweepstakes, according to Joe McDonnel, after Beltre turned down the club's mega offer. McDonnel cites a source that says "there's no room for further negotiation (ESPN)."
