No deal yet, but Los Angeles Angels introduce Torii Hunter

Garland threw the second of Chicago's four consecutive complete-game victories over the Angels in the 2005 ALCS, beating them in Game 3 after the series was tied 1-all. The right-hander will earn $12 million next year, then can become a free agent.

Cabrera's salary will be $9 million in 2008, then he also will be eligible for free agency.

"I'm not one to go out and strike out too many guys, so the ball's going to be put in play," Garland said. "And to have someone like Torii roaming center field, it's a huge comfort for myself."

Hunter's arrival will move Matthews to left field or right, depending on whether Anderson or Vladimir Guerrero is the designated hitter on a particular night.

"That was one thing I thought about before I came here," said Hunter, who had an old phone number for Matthews and couldn't reach him. "We've been friends for a long time, so it'll be a lot of fun playing with him.

"We saw each other at the doctor's office Monday, and we were cracking up laughing," Hunter added. "I told him, `You know what? We're going to win a ring together.' He said whatever it takes to win, he's ready. I mean, he wasn't jumping up and down like he was happy about it, because he's a center fielder. And I understand that. But if I win, he's going to win."

The Angels' payroll last season was around $114 million, according to Moreno, and is currently at about $125 million. And the winter meetings haven't even started yet.

"There are limits, because you don't want to do something in the short term that's going to really affect what's going to happen in the long term," Moreno said. "We've made Tony jump through a lot of rings, looking at the next three years and who we have signed position by position and what it's going to cost to re-sign someone and who do we have coming through our system."

The Angels are among several teams that covet Florida third baseman Miguel Cabrera and Twins ace Johan Santana.

"I know those rumors are out there. All I can say is those two players are under contract with other clubs, so I can't speak to it," Reagins said. "If an opportunity presents itself, we'll take a look at it. We're going to continue to pound the pavement. We're going to the winter meetings next week and see what that brings."
