Angels right-hander Jered Weaver admits that he went against the advice of agent Scott Boras before agreeing to a five-year, $85 million contract extension with the team. "If $85 (million) is not enough to take care of my family and other generations of families then I'm pretty stupid, but how much money do you really need in life?" Weaver said. "I've never played this game for the money. I played it for the love and the competitive part of it. It just so happens that baseball's going to be taking care of me for the rest of my life." Weaver agreed to the new contract more than a year before he could have reached free agency. He may have left tens of millions of dollars on the table. He said he just wasn't interested in chasing "CC Sabathia money." When the Angels approached him in July about an extension that will keep him in Anaheim through the 2016 season, Weaver said he was very interested. Boras, he said, wasn't so supportive of what amounts to a hometown discount. "Obviously, he wants to give you the best options and free agency can give you the best options," Weaver said. "He would have liked to have seen me gone, but I told him I wanted to get something done and he was more than willing to work with me about it that way."
