Cano left to go to a Mariners team that is up and coming
while not already established everyone knew who followed the ALWest that they were a big bat away
and now they are like 4 games over 500
And you bring up Pujols
The Angels was 5 games over 500 the year before
There lineup was already good with Kendrick, Hunter, Wells and Morales.
Throw in Pujols
and they were on paper wayyyy better than the Angels team that beat the Giants in the World Series 10 years prior.
Both teams were not shyt
As a player signing a contract you look at potential also
The Mariners were about to be over the hill in Canos eyes
and the Angels were already a good team
