The Angels are denying reports that they matched Boston's offer to free-agent Carl Crawford before the outfielder agreed to join the Red Sox, according to a source. On Wednesday, according to a baseball source, Crawford's agents sent word that they were setting an 11 p.m. deadline. If either the Red Sox or Angels offered seven years and $142 million by that time, Crawford was theirs. The Angels matched the Red Sox offer at the deadline, according to the source, but by then Crawford had already committed.
