...and Pujols?
They were on the hook after they traded him to the Dodgers last year. He signed as a FA with STL last offseason.
Angels have the most payroll on the IR than any other team ($87,340,770; Yankees are 2nd at $66,748,284). They also have the most payroll retained ($49,297,449). Their 26 man payroll is currently 27th in MLB.

Mariners, RHP Castillo reach 5-year, $108M deal
The Mariners and right-hander Luis Castillo are in agreement on a five-year, $108 million contract extension.
Microcosm of modern-day MLB: Braves give washed up Charlie Morton $20m, because why TF not I guess? Oakland A's have $0 committed to their entire roster next year. These teams play in the same pro sports league.
Kay receives 22 years for role in Skaggs' death
Former Angels employee Eric Kay was sentenced to 22 years in federal prison for providing pitcher Tyler Skaggs the drugs that led to his overdose death in Texas.
Not a lot of hope for next year either. I could see the pitching staff improving, but the lineup was pretty woeful and it's hard seeing them get much production outside of Sean Murphy (a legitimately good catcher), Seth Brown (a power hitting 1B with a sub-.300 OBP) and Ramon Laureano (good player but he's dealt with injuries/suspension and had a down 2022).
Yep I think he might be good
Rookies of the Year J-Rod, Harris have future of game in good hands
Julio Rodríguez left little question that he was the top rookie in the American League this season. In the National League, however, it was a far more tightly contested race -- between a pair of teammates, no less -- for the 2022 Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year Award. In

Zach Neto has not been HBP in two weeks, does that qualify as a slump for him?

I knew he was a fast riser, but I didn't realized he was drafted last summer (figured it was 2021).
Hopefully Chase Meidroth can join him by getting promoted this year. Sox just promoted him to AA a few days ago and he's hit .356/.504/.467 between A+/AA (yes, his OBP is above .500)

I know that everyone gets excited when guys put up numbers and they subconsciously think that nothing can go wrong but I think if you don't lower those expectations a bit you are probably going to end up disappointed. AA is a big test and he hasn't passed it yet. If he (deservedly) finishes the season in AAA that is excellent progress and you should be very, very happy with that, don't even be thinking about the majors
