The OC Register reports that the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim wasted no time in re-signing outfielder Bobby Abreu to a 2 year $19 million contract.  The contract will pay him $9 million in 2010 and 2011 with a team option for 2012 at $9 million.  If the Angels choose to not exercise the contract, there is a $1 million buyout.  This contract was accepted after Abreu rejected a 2 year $16 million contract offered in mid October.

The quick signing of Abreu is a change from last years poor market conditions.  Abreu was offered 2 year $16 million by the Tampa Bay Rays, only to reject it.  He then signed with the Angels later that winter for $5 million plus $1 million in incentives.

Abreu, 35, scored 96 runs, hit .293, had 15 home runs, 103 RBIs, 30 stolen bases, and a .390 on-base percentage in 152 games.

Angels General Manager, Tony Reagins still has some work cut out for him this off season.  On his to-do list for 2010 include free agents John Lackey, Darren Oliver, Vladimir Guerrero, Chone Figgins, Robb Quinlan and Kelvim Escobar.  Teams have 15 days after the World Series to conduct exclusive negotiations with their free agents.
