Things -- the best of baseball play out of all headed to Los Angeles Albert pool -- He is signing a ten year 254.

Million dollar contract with the Los Angeles Angels.

Joining us now is John Freeman from a market -- Join our new and media have succeeded so what's flexible go to do with media sports media what do you know about -- and everything.

Back up but why is sound why do you say that is not all the money that's getting pool halls to move to -- him.

The -- -- angels owner is very ambitious and seasonally Dodgers is cross town rival or cross state rival being very weak -- financially wants to move in for the kill -- the angels have been -- here forever the Dodgers this thing could poor cousins.

And it it to us now with -- both the best player baseball you said that a big big splash finale.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Who I looked over Paper in baseball history hey rod yes cautionary tale for the Angel by the way a -- skills of declining.

This contract years are getting are getting higher but approvals declining to eventually.

But he gets the money or else gets the money no matter what because declined to can be -- it does not matter he's got a guarantee does not matter.

The second business deal I mean as we have seen when these guys get the big box over a long period of time.

They're still decline in nick picks up toward the end of their contract.

In -- word -- and lyrics and it's it's madness that -- -- -- that is one of one but I guess that the angels owner thinks he can get big splash in his market with the best player in baseball -- -- -- -- -- -- I think -- -- -- that's for baseball of course they are -- -- -- I agree.

What a lot car -- went way way way way if it -- more people gonna show up to the ballpark and by the way -- -- can't figure -- great productive years on a poll also mean.

Ten years though Charles about what about next year than the year after an okay the first three or 45 -- for the first half given to the first half will be great for the relative to be similar culture of winning that can be established that kicking caring how long after he's gone -- I think people discount that as well.

He has to establish a winning team he has to be.

Fabulous play and bring the angels around to become real winners if the owner of the -- is to get his way and its -- -- as a top ranked team.

That is a long shot when you're playing with a quarter billion dollars and I think I -- if you I totally agree with -- with you and you go both right -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- It's not good -- economics -- makes no sense to me.

Last -- we hear that Barry Bonds could be sentenced to fifteen months in prison.

As of today when you make about.

Well I think Barry Bonds is very unpopular right now I'm basically his country poster child puts all this woman -- -- a lot of people we've saying well there you -- he deserves it.

President -- value but you wanna talk about a bad investment the government spent a hundred million dollars hunting down Barry Bonds to -- felt that was a 10000 million between 75 million and a hundred million dollars.

To prosecute Barry Bonds over the years.

That to me -- a terrible terrible waste of money that they spend that kind of money out mourners mostly you kitten and a hundred million dollars to prosecute this gonna get a job at fifteen months maybe won't go to -- I don't what do you like about Jon Friedman's -- gonna Charles got appointed its.

On the face of -- you think is money police -- Politically right by -- -- by the so unpopular people -- just you take care for.

-- Finland Chicago Cubs finally a World Series for the first time in over a hundred years.

I'd rather not -- it because we paid 250 million dollars for -- please take it.

You would take it.

-- -- Would also all the legitimate hope -- those that he's not gonna dog and he's gonna get on to Brazilian companies guys get these big contracts and they -- faith I think the -- or not that's at the -- than the first year.

You know I still can't -- -- that I have to and that's up to them off track dancing around yeah.
