Does Trout Deal Set The Market for Machado? (Update: 6/$144.5M)

[atomic]

In 2016 the Angels will have 5 players making a combine 112 million. They have the worst ranked farm system in all of baseball. They have players in Puljos and Hamilton who are untradeable. They are going to be an awful team unless the owner wants a 300 million dollar payroll.

I don't know if it'll be that bad. They could spend around 80-90mm to fill out the rest of the roster and be around $200mm. I think that's do-able. They'll be a team to keep an eye on though.
