Angels, Other Teams Have Made Offer To Luis Ayala
The Angels are one of a "handful of teams" that have formally tendered a contract offer to Luis Ayala, reports MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez. It's unclear if it's a minor league contract offer, and the right-handed reliever is still weighing his options and no decision is imminent.

The Angels have been spending a lot of time talking about their plans on adding a late-inning reliever to compliment Walden, yet so far they've let all the quality relievers on the free agent market slip past them. Now I don't blame them, some of them were just too overpriced (Madson), and some were just plain not worth it (Cordero). What makes this a tricky case is that...

Price Fielder has reportedly agreed to a $214 million, nine-year deal with the Tigers, making him just the third player in major league history to receive a contract worth $200 million or more.
