Oops...ESPNDallas is confirming. -
Free agent Josh Hamilton agreed Thursday to a contract with the Los Angeles Angels, a source with direct knowledge of the deal told ESPN Dallas talk show host Ben Rogers.
Hamilton will receive a five-year contract for $25 million per season, the source said.
Hamilton's former team, the Texas Rangers, had been in negotiations to retain the 2010 MVP. Hamilton's camp had also reportedly met with the Mariners at the winter meetings.
Hamilton, 31, has batted .304 in his big-league career, all but 90 games of it in Texas. He has provided big power in the middle of the Rangers' lineup, helping the team to World Series appearances in 2010 and '11.
Hamilton hit .285 with 43 homers and 128 RBIs in an inconsistent 2012 season that didn't finish well; a vision problem caused him to miss five games, he struggled offensively and he had an error in the AL West-deciding loss to Oakland.Comment

Dang it. I'm an Angels fan and I'm not happy about this. Was hoping he'd go to Seattle. I just think the guy is a waste of money. Yes, when he's on, he's on, but just don't think the Angels need him. I would prefer he stayed in Texas. Dang it dang it dang it.Comment
