Well, everyone, we finally made it. After 99 painstaking days with of heated negotiations between MLB and the MLBPA, the two sides finally reached a deal on Wednesday afternoon, bringing baseball back into our lives once again.
With the end of the lockout comes the removal of the transactions freeze that has been hanging over the game for the better part of three months now, meaning that players will be free to sign with teams as soon as the new CBA is ratified at around 3 P.M. PST.
Things could start really picking up quickly here, so we thought it might be necessary to catch everyone up on where the Angels stand now that the lockout is finally over.
