ANAHEIM -- In a stunning move, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim have signed free-agent center fielder Torii Hunter to a five-year deal. Terms of the contract were not released, and the agreement is pending a physical.
On the Score the other night, the guys were talking that it was all but a done deal that Hunter would be in a White Sox uniform by the end of the week! Boy, those guys have to eat their words for their Thanksgiving dinner. I see them going after Aaron Rowand again, now that Hunter didn't pull through for them.
from whitesox.com yesterday:
But speaking to MLB.com on Tuesday afternoon, Hunter said his free agent thought process will pick up steam on the day following the holiday. But if Hunter and the White Sox were close to reaching a multi-year deal by the end of this week, as reported by the Sun-Times on Monday, then Hunter certainly wasn't tipping his hand to such an outcome.
"Not by the end of this week. I know that for a fact," said Hunter on Tuesday, when asked for a timetable of when he may sign a new lucrative deal. "It could be the end of next week, and it's not necessarily with the White Sox.
"I'm actually trying to weigh my options and think about a couple of other things," Hunter added.
Plan B, Mr. Williams?
