The Angels have voted to give a full postseason share to the estate of Nick Adenhart.
Adenhart, a rookie pitcher, was killed in April in a car accident that was allegedly caused by a drunken driver.
The Angels' shares were worth $138,039.

The Red Sox are said to be focusing their attention on John Lackey instead of Roy Halladay.
Boston doesn't like the idea of giving up Clay Buchholz and Casey Kelly in a deal for Halladay, and signing Lackey could give them the flexibility to make a trade for a hitter.
The Boston Globe reports that unless the Blue Jays lower their asking price, the Red Sox will court Lackey and possibly deal Buchholz for a guy like Miguel Cabrera or Adrian Gonzalez.

The Angels don't have nearly as much to spend this winter as some have projected.
With arbitration-eligible players and back-loaded contracts, the Angels already have roughly $101 million dedicated to 21 players, according to the Los Angeles Times.
That leaves general manager Tony Reagins with roughly $12 million to spend, assuming they stay in line with the $113 million they spent in 2009.
When the season ended, almost $51 million was trimmed from their payroll with the expiring contracts of Vladimir Guerrero, Kelvim Escobar, John Lackey, Bobby Abreu, Chone Figgins, Darren Oliver and Robb Quinlan.

Agent Scott Boras is expected to find free-agent outfielder Johnny Damon a contract worth at least what Bobby Abreu got from the Angels.
Abreu signed a two-year, $19 million deal to remain in Los Angeles even before he hit the free agent market.
Boras is likely to set Damon's price higher than the baseline Abreu set, which might prevent the Yankees from re-signing the outfielder.
