He's an UFA. He doesn't have to do any favors for any team. Hamilton doesn't owe the Rangers anything. They paid him his contract & he played very well for them. Apparently the Rangers offered him 4 years 100M. He got a better offer.

Then don't say you're going to do something if you're not going to do it is all I'm saying. He showed a real lack of class.

I completely understand why Rangers fans would be upset about Hamilton signing somewhere else, especially the Angels. He flourished their & became one of the most popular athletes in the state. Unfortunately the business part of the game has changed things.

Like I said, I'm just upset because he lied. Everything else is business.

I think the Rangers will regret holding on to him

Ummmm he says let me consider that offer and I'll get back to you. It happens all the time genius.

Point is if you're not going to do that fine. But don't say you'll do something and make yourself out to be a liar.

JD said this morning on the ticket that somehow that was out there but never ever agreed upon and that he didn't expect to be able to "match" any offer. He said you can't expect Josh to tell the LAA to wait i need to call the Rangers. Said more than likely it was a take it or leave it offer but no contact with anyone. Can't blame Josh at all for taking the best offer he was given.

We should have tried to trade him at the deadline! I wonder what kind of value he had?

Can't trade arguably your best player when you're, at the time, leading your division and looking to go to a 3rd straight WS

The rangers and fans are glad he's gone too. Cya!!!

At that price, I am glad he is gone. We will miss his bat, won't miss his mailed in season every other year.


He is so screwed in LA.

He is thinking of the weather and money. Guess he doesn't realize there will still be pressure to do well there, and there are even more clubs and places to hide your vices.

Hoping the best for him because this is just a game, but dude better watch out or he is gonna get into a world of trouble.

"We feel so strongly this is where God has moved us and planted us.”

Yeah God and about $125 million other reasons,

I love how she managed to make this about God and not the obscene amount of money he's going to receive
