Torii Hunter signed a five-year, $90 million deal with the Angels in 2007, reaping the benefits of the team's wealth. This offseason, he was apparently told money was a little tight; he signed a 2-year, $26 million deal with the Tigers. So when Josh Hamilton -- also an outfielder -- nabbed a 5-year, $125 million deal with the Angels today, Texas wasn't too thrilled -- and neither was Hunter. Per this tweet:

I was told money was tight but I guess the Arte had money hidden under a Mattress. Business is business but don't lie.

He followed it up with this tweet, but it was probably too late:

Great signing for the Angels. One the best players in baseball.
