MAJOR LEAGUES Angels trade Hamilton back to Rangers Comment By Los Angeles Times MailTribune.com By Los Angeles Times Posted Apr. 27, 2015 at 7:45 PM By Los Angeles Times Posted Apr. 27, 2015 at 7:45 PM » Social News LOS ANGELES — Josh Hamilton’s short, tumultuous and disappointing tenure with the Los Angeles Angels officially ended Monday when the team announced it had completed a trade of the troubled outfielder to the Texas Rangers, the club with which Hamilton thrived from 2008 to 2012. “Over the course of the last few weeks, it became clear that Josh wanted to return to Texas,” said Angels General Manager Jerry Dipoto. “After several discussions with the Rangers, we were able to complete a trade that in the end is the right decision for everyone involved.” No other players were involved in the deal. The Rangers will reportedly pay less than $7 million of the remaining three years and about $80 million on Hamilton’s contract, and Hamilton will forfeit about $6 million to the Angels to offset the benefit he will derive by playing in Texas, where there is no state income tax. So, in effect, the Angels will pay Hamilton about $68 million to play for an American League West rival, a reflection of just how much owner Arte Moreno wanted to rid himself of Hamilton after the player suffered a substance-abuse relapse over the winter. “As his friend, it’s unfortunate that it looks like I’m going to have to play against him,” Angels pitcher C.J. Wilson, a teammate of Hamilton’s in Texas, said after Sunday’s game. “But that’s the way it goes. You don’t get to pick your teammates.” Hamilton, who has had a long and well-chronicled addiction to cocaine and alcohol, was a five-time All-Star and the 2010 AL most valuable player in Texas, but he was a bust in Anaheim after signing a five-year, $125 million deal with the Angels. In 2013, Hamilton hit a career-low .250 with 21 homers and 79 runs batted in. He hit .263 with 10 homers and 44 RBIs in 89 games in an injury-marred 2014 and was booed at home as he went hitless in 13 at-bats in a division series sweep at the hands of the Kansas City Royals. “Josh knows that he didn’t play to his potential here,” Wilson said. “I think it comes down to that. He felt responsible to play up to the contract, because it’s a big contract, obviously, and he scuffled a little bit.” By Los Angeles Times MailTribune.com By Los Angeles Times Posted Apr. 27, 2015 at 7:45 PM » Comment or view comments Reader Reaction » STAY INFORMED Email NewsLetter Sign Up Today Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox. fantasy football 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook for Ravens Stars Apr. 29, 2015 at 6:30 pm Fantasy Football Outlook for Seahawks Stars Apr. 22, 2015 at 3:05 am 2015 Fantasy Outlook for Chargers' Stars Apr. 17, 2015 at 6:15 am Fantasy Outlook for Dolphins Stars Apr. 14, 2015 at 6:37 am Biggest Fantasy Winners, Losers in Free Agency Apr. 8, 2015 at 2:45 am Fantasy Football Outlook for Bears Stars Apr. 7, 2015 at 1:09 am calendar Connect with MailTribune.com Facebook Twitter RSS Back to top Reader Services Reader Services Home Subscriptions Subscriber controls Contact us Submissions Photos Events Letters to the editor Corrections Announcements Obituaries Story ideas Since you asked Alerts Email Alerts RSS Feeds Text Alerts Advertise Media Kit Home Products and services Ad rates Advertising contacts Mail Tribune Daily Tidings The Nickel Shop Our Valley Blogs Stay Informed Email newsletter Sign Up Today Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox.
