Multiple reports indicate that the Los Angeles Angeles of Anaheim, Orange County, California, USA, Earth, Milk Way are serious contenders for the services of
Masahiro Tanaka. The team's signing of re-tread
Mark Mulder is, according to Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times, just for depth. So, the 'clear path' to Tanaka postulated by so many Yankee suck-ups is just not true. The Angels need to get competitive again quickly (after the
Albert Pujols and
Josh Hamilton debacles) and they have the cash to make a splash on Tanaka.
