Arte Moreno: Angels 'probably' out of the running for big free agents Other teams still looking to spend big money on free-agent outfielders no doubt are taking note of what Arte Moreno said Wednesday about his own team: The Angels probably won't be pursuing anyone expensive. Not long it was reported the Angels added Daniel Nava and Craig Gentry in what might be a possible platoon for left field in 2016, the team's owner said the likes of Yoenis Cespedes, Alex Gordon and Justin Upton won't be following in free agency. And it's not like Angels competed for other top free agents in this class. They've been on the sidelines all along: "Right now if I had to make the decision, we'd probably be out," Moreno said. Jason Heyward seemed like good a fit for the Angels (for the money). Cespedes, too. But it's not going to happen, if Moreno sticks to his wallet and word. So much for a club that, in recent years, spent a lot of money in order to add the likes of Josh Hamilton, C.J. Wilson and Albert Pujols. It's likely that the Angels would have to exceed the luxury tax threshold in order to sign someone like Cespedes, Gordon or Upton, each of whom probably will cost $20 million or more a season. General manager Billy Eppler didn't discount the possibility of making a trade for an expensive player, as long as the Angels trade an expensive one back. A suggestion of Wilson to the Reds for Jay Bruce has been made, as an example. 老闆講話了...所以對古巴人&Gordon也不用太期待了，黑米、西街、阿普的薪資還是老問 題，如果真的要進貨打咖球員，Eppler應會用交易大牌球星的方式，例如C.J換Jay Bruce --
