He is one of the best free agent hitters out there, if not THE best. Why wouldn’t he have multiple teams chasing after him?

This guy smoked his $4 Million signing bonus in a pipe within 2-3 years. His brain is mush. Why does anyone care???

More pointless interviews. Josh is old news. The media creates news when they have none. Like they must have Josh altars in their newsrooms.

Also the age gap is noteworthy.

The Yankees should have signed him. Through 6 seasons:

MANTLE
.308 AVG, 173 HR, 575 RBI, 43 SB.

HAMILTON
.304 AVG, 161 HR, 553 RBI, 43 SB.

Josh make his forture when decided to take his talents to the Angels–not the Rangers and or Mariners. Whinning about what the Rangers, Mariners did is irrelevant and immaterial. There is nothing else to see here so Josh get a grip on yourself and move on because I know I sure as hell has.

Wouldn’t be surprised to hear that his agent has a different take.

No worse than teams leaking information during negotiations…..especially if said leaks were hyperbole designed for positive PR. He wasn’t even specific and he didn’t bring them up, he just answered a question….he didn’t even list any of the teams you didn’t hear about.

But then, we are talking about a player who has to be babied aren’t we?
