Among reviews the Angels had gone to live in the head of the line in search of free-agent left-hander C.J. Wilson, the club was thought to become ending up in the hurler's agent in the Winter Conferences on Monday evening.
Bob Nightengale of USA Today tweeted the Angels "are located as faves for C.J. Wilson" and Jon Morosi of FOXSports.com stated via Twitter the Angels were creating a "serious push" to sign him.
Earlier within the day, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that five teams were in on Wilson and one of these had designed a six-year offer (although the identity of this team never really materialized). Wilson, a local of Newport Beach, Calif., had dinner with new Angels gm Jerry DiPoto and lengthy-time skipper Mike Scioscia at the end of November. DiPoto and Wilson's agent, Bob Garber, also met throughout the overall Managers Conferences in Milwaukee.
Requested about having to pay Wilson something greater compared to five-year, $85 million extension Jered Weaver signed in August, Dipoto stated that thought would "certainly create some hesitancy." Because it usually is by using discussions such as these, though, this can be a very fluid situation. Wilson might be attracted by the possibilities of pitching near to where he was raised, and when they still wish to increase their offense following the signing, the Angels could achieve this through the trade market.
The Excellent, Marlins, Red-colored Sox and Wilson's recent club, the Rangers, are also stated to possess strong interest. Based on ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick, Texas intends to make its first offer to Wilson on Tuesday.
