Major League Baseball and the players' union on Monday approvedthe trade that will send outfielder/DH Josh Hamilton back to the Rangers, ending a largely underwhelming two-season Harold Baines Jersey stay in Anaheim that will haunt the Angels by costingalmost $70 million to rid themselves of him.
The trade hadto be approved by MLB and the players' a sociation because of the amount of money involved and because Hamilton would be forfeiting about $6 million of the more than $80 million left on the five-year, $125 million contract he signed in December 2012.
