Garza Was Turned Off By Timing Of Offer From Angels 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Feb 17, 2014 9:23 pm

The Los Angeles Angels offered Matt Garza a four-year, $52 million deal this offseason, but the right-hander turned it down.


"They offered, but it was more of a weird situation," said Garza, who wound up getting $50 million in guaranteed money from the Milwaukee Brewers.


"I was on vacation with my wife and I didn't want to be disturbed, and it was like, 'Here it is, we'll pull it in a certain amount of hours.' I didn't have a chance to respond, so I just said, 'Whatever. It is what it is.'"


He added: "It wasn't anything big. It was an offer and I said, 'I'm on vacation. I'm not thinking about baseball, Dude. Me and my wife are enjoying ourselves.'"

"I'm a little busy right now spending my millions to be getting tens of millions more guaranteed to me."
