Angels Extend Guerrero/Lackey, Buyout Anderson


The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim make quite a few decisions today corresponding to the 2009 club. They have agreed to exercise right-fielder Vladimir Guerrero's $15M option for next year, as well as right-hander John Lackey's $9M pact. Neither were unexpected, especially since they are both key players for the Angels and love Anaheim.
On the other side of the coin, the Angels paid left-fielder Garrett Anderson's $3M buyout instead of exercising his $14M option. This will be quite the move for the Halos, especially if Anderson resigns with the club for cheap. They will possibly save $8M with the move if G.A. agrees to a deal worth $5M or less.
