Torii Hunter Is Not Happy That Angels Owner Arte Moreno Somehow Found Money to Pay Josh Hamilton
Torii Hunter played outfield in Los Angeles through last season. He will be turning 37, and despite coming off a good year, the Angels let him walk in free agency. He settled in with the Detroit Tigers for 2 years and %26 million, so let’s not feel too sorry for Torii. However, he wasn’t happy when the news of Josh Hamilton’s contract averaging $25 million per year for five years was announced.
I was told money was tight but I guess the Arte had money hidden under a Mattress. Business is business but don’t lie.

Business Don’t Lie
December 13th, 2012 at 5:31 PM
Lying is part of business. In fact, there is a business code word for lying. See: negotiation. Grow up

Maybe money was tight because they planned on spending it elsewhere.
December 13th, 2012 at 5:33 PM
Will the WAH-mbuluance make it all the way to Detroit?
December 13th, 2012 at 5:34 PM
Looks like Torii should have waited for Greinke to sign elsewhere before moving on. I am sure money was “tight” while they were trying to sign the pitcher.
December 13th, 2012 at 5:36 PM
I’m sure Torii and his agent told Detroit that money was tight in Anaheim, and were completely honest with them.
December 13th, 2012 at 5:36 PM
Well, Torii, he’s not 37, so yeah. Deal with it. Plus, his BABIP being insane last year doesn’t help.

Didn’t he just leave a $100 Million contract? Feel for the guy.
December 13th, 2012 at 6:10 PM
Torii’s not really down with the cause…
December 13th, 2012 at 6:40 PM
Tight rhymes with white.
December 13th, 2012 at 7:50 PM
I think Torii’s sentiment comes across clearly in that tweet. I don’t think he is complaining about Hamilton getting paid and not him. He’s just complaining that they sugar coated negotiations with him. He wanted DiPoto and Moreno to play it straight with him. That being said, the 2015 Angels will be the funniest, geriatric squad west of the Mississippi.

Torri is washed up. Smart move letting him go.
December 14th, 2012 at 10:07 AM
Torii had a higher WAR last year than ol’ Josh. That Arte….he’s clever that one.
