Angels Notes: Aybar, Dipoto, Haren, Santana

By Zachary Links | April 19, 2012 at 8:47pm CDT

Earlier this evening we asked MLBTR readers if they thought the Angels made the right move in signing Erick Aybar to a new four-year, $35MM extension.  As of right now, just over half of you are in favor of the move.  Here's more on the fallout from the deal and other Halos notes..

  • With the Aybar deal completed, the Angels will have $121MM committed to ten players for the 2013 season if the options for Dan Haren, Ervin Santana, and Chris Iannetta are exercised, tweets Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times.
  • Meanwhile, Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com tweets that GM Jerry Dipoto doesn't sound like he's focused on taking care of the three club options just yet.  Haren's option is for $15.5MM with a $3.5MM buyout, Santana's is $13MM with a $1MM buyout, and Iannetta's is worth $5MM with a meager $250K buyout.
  • Dipoto says that the amount of money committed to players in the coming years puts added pressure on the scouting and player development system to come through with in-house talent, DiGiovanna tweets.

    Ervin Santana is by no means worth 13 million.

      how is he not? He’s now the 4th ace on a great Angels staff & would be a good ace on most teams

        You have a very loose definition of the word ace

          Stole mein words.

          Haren? Ace. Weaver? Budding ace. Santana? 2-3. CJ Wilson? 2. At least, that’s how I see it.

          ok, ace wasn’t the best word, but he’s definitely worth $13M, his consistency is worth that much (except the first 3 starts this year)

    I think they decline the option (Santana) and sign Cole Hamels. Just my guess, if my Phil’s don’t resign him that is.

       I just can’t get my mind around Hamels being anywhere but Philadelphia.  He sure would look good in an Angel uniform though.

      I’d love to have Hamels in Anaheim but I just cannot see the Halos shelling out that kind of cash for him.

        Torii Hunter + Bobby Abreu = 25 million off the books.

    with fox kicking in 150 mill a year, i dont think martie is concerned about losing money.   players salaries are going out of control in the next few years.

      Why would martie ever be concerned about player salaries?  Arte, on the other hand, could be.

    Keep Haren and try to re-structure Santana’s deal.

    “With the Aybar deal completed, the Angels will have $121MM committed to ten players for the 2013 season if the options for Dan Haren, Ervin Santana, and Chris Iannettaare exercised…”
    It’s actually about $140MM if you use MLB’s AAV for a players salary which is what the luxury tax is based on.  So the Angles have about $49MM to round out the rest of the 25 man roster the 15 additional players for the 40 man roster and the approximately $10MM each team is charged for incentives, benefits, etc… before MLB’s luxury tax would kick in.  If they pick up those 3 players options the Angles should come in at about $180 to $185MM for their 2013 MLB Payroll for luxury tax purposes.
