Morales Contract Terms Revealed

Via the Times, the Angels have offered Morales a $3M signing bonus, totaling $10M over six years.

Side note: While a bunch of folks have already suggested that Arte's big plan is to Hispanicize the Angels, he's never publically said anything about doing so, and at every turn has graciously emphasized that everyone is welcome at his club. However, the Times story says

That the Angels have a Latin owner, Arte Moreno, and a large contingent of Latin players that includes Vladimir Guerrero, the American League's most valuable player, helped sway Morales toward Anaheim.

"He knew who was on our club," Bane said. "He knew about Vladimir, Mr. Moreno, and it wasn't from his agent and advisor … it was important to him."

This thing's taken on legs. Every damn hispanic free agent is going to come roaring into our gates now, is that it? I mean, my opinion of Vlad changes by the minute, but is it really worth having Bartolo Colon on the roster? Ugh.
