The offseason has barely begun, but teams are wasting no time locking down free agents or making long-term contract offers to guys on the fence.
The Los Angeles Angels decided to go all in to keep Justin Upton around.
According to Bob Nightengale, the Angels inked a 5-year $106 million deal with the former Tigers outfielder. Now, this deal isn’t quite as cut and dry as it looks on paper. For one thing, Upton already had a four year deal worth $88 million, so basically the Angels are just adding an extra year to that — plus an extra $18 million dollars.
