Rumor Mill: A-Rod to the Angels

On Tuesday night, Los Angeles Angels owner Arte Moreno guranteed a major acquisition this offseason. If by major he means big names, it might not get any bigger than Alex Rodriguez.
Despite solid offensive numbers this season, Rodriguez is in the midst of a torturous season when it comes to how the New York Yankees fans have received him. Various struggles also have earned the wrath of the New York media. At the July 31 nonwaiver trade deadline, it came up that perhaps Rodriguez needs a fresh start. If money truly is no object, then Rodriguez will find his way to the Angels' wish list.
"The economics aren't going to be any kind of hurdle at all," Moreno said Tuesday. Rodriguez won't come cheap. The Yankees figure to ask for no less than Ervin Santana, Scot Shields, Chone Figgins and a high-level prospect.
