I like the Zack Cozart deal for the Angels. At $38 million over three years, the Angels are paying him for about 1.5 WAR per season. That’s pretty much his historical level. They were not tempted to over pay him after he posted a five-WAR season late in his prime. Even if Cozart fall apart in his early 30s, the Angels are not committed to him long term.

Right now, the Angels are doing a good job of putting capable veterans around Mike Trout on offense. With healthy pitching, they could make a better run for a wild card, or even a division title if the Astros falter.
