The Los Angeles Times is confirming that the Angels and Vladimir Guerrero have agreed to terms on a five-year, $70 million contract. With that being said, I am very anxious to see what this does for Magglio. The best OF in the game who is also younger than Maggs just got 5 yrs/14 mil. per. I think this makes the reported offer that Maggs rejected of 4 yrs/ 12 mil per. look extremely fair. The big time money is gone. I remember when Arod signed, everyone was saying the next huge deal would be Vlad... Well 14 million is a lot, but the market has now come down. I wonder if this signing will make Magglio more interested in resigning, or if he will still want to try and test the waters.

What the Vlad signing does re. Magglio, is it makes Mags the best "available" player left. So, if we want to trade him to LA, Boston, Baltimore, etc., we have a lot more leverage (and can ask for more)!
