Angels Should Be Upfront

As a 25-year Angel fan and a great admirer of Chuck Finley, I want to express one thing to Bill Stoneman and the powers that be in the Angel front office. I believe we should be allowed to know the offer extended to Finley. If it is an insult with no real intention to retain him after his years of loyalty, leadership and soul, then I, and many of my friends, will be ex-Angel fans. It has never been about the money for him, it has only been about the Angels and winning. If someone this dedicated leaves, he sees something the rest of us should: a loser.
