Angels GM PM is an Anthopoulos acolyte so I can't wait to see the inevitable copy and then failure of this strategy in Anaheim because of the gap in pure talent.

They paid Trout 400 million instead of inexplicably convincing him to take 200 million, so already off to a bad start

Despite all the dingers Sammy hit, he has less bWar than Bobby Abreu which I find hilarious

Sosa has 609 HRs and 58.6 bWar. That has to be one of the lowest war per dinger

I loved Abreu back in the day, but in the case of two all-bat RF, the fact that the WAR algorithm says the guy who hit 600 dingers is less valuable sure is something

Here's when Chris Sabo was caught with a corked bat. Sabo claims he borrowed it from a teammate.

Billy Hatcher's corked bat. It wasn't his. Hilariously, it belonged to pitcher Dave Smith. Or at least, it had Smith's number on the handle.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75KwmNDJy7Q

Others caught with cork:
Graig Nettles in 1974
Albert Belle in 1994 (the one Jason Grimsley Mission Impossible'd from the umpires room)
Wilton Guerrero in 1997
Sosa in 2003

I can buy the Chris Sabo excuse. His original bat broke earlier in the AB and then the batboy gave him some other bat which was the corked one.

I'm not sure what is funnier, that being the biggest contract in Rays history or giving the biggest contract in your team's history to Zach Eflin. The Rays really need to be contracted.
