All three Angels were deemed Type A free agents by the Elias Sports Bureau, which each year ranks free agents based on a complex mathematical formula. If a Type A player is offered arbitration, declines, and signs elsewhere, the original team is given a first-round pick and a supplemental draft pick as compensation.

Type B players who decline arbitration and sign elsewhere earn their original teams a supplemental draft pick (between the first and second rounds).

Vladimir Guerrero is the only Type B free agent for the Angels.

Reagins became the 10th GM in team history when he signed his initial three-year contract on Oct. 16, 2007. The new deal ensures that Reagins will not enter the 2010 season with lame-duck status.

"I would like to thank the Moreno family for their support and confidence as we continue our goal of winning World Championships," Reagins said in a statement released by the Angels. "It is an honor to work with a tremendous group of professionals both on the baseball and business side of our organization. The vision of this organization and the dedication of our employees for improvement on a daily basis, makes my role extremely gratifying."

Since taking the position before the 2008 season, Reagins, 42, has made several instrumental moves, including signing Torii Hunter to a five-year contract, trading for Mark Teixeira at the 2008 trading deadline and signing Bobby Abreu this offseason to a one-year deal.

Reagins served six seasons as the team's director of player development, and got his start as an intern with the Angels. The 2010 season will be his 19th in the Angels organization.

Terms of the deal were not immediately available.

Abreu, who will turn 36 in February, signed a one-year deal last year with the Angels and hit .293 with 96 runs and 103 RBI. He expressed interest in returning to the Angels after the season ended in the ALCS. The Angels were allowed to negotiate exclusively with their potential free agents for 15 days following the conclusion of the World Series, a time period that begins today.

It took little time to get a deal done.

"I am very happy to sign this contract," Abreu said in a statement released by the team. "I really enjoyed my first season with the club. The Angels are a solid organization, with an outstanding team and great fans. With the talent we have, I look forward to the opportunity of postseason competition once again."

Matthews had one full season as the team's starting centerfielder in 2007 but has been largely unhappy with his role as a reserve outfielder since the Angels signed Torii Hunter to play centerfield before the 2008 season.

The former all-star has had three unproductive seasons with the Angels since signing with the team in November of 2006.

A knee injury limited Matthews for much of 2008. He played in just 103 games this season, batting .250 with 50 RBI as a reserve behind Juan Rivera, Hunter and Bobby Abreu.

"I've been understanding of the team's situation," Matthews said. "Tony (Reagins) and the organization has an understanding of my situation. The time has come for action and getting something done. It's time to move on."

Matthews still has two years and $23 million left on his contract, which may make it difficult for the Angels to trade him this offseason. The contract included a full no-trade clause until this offseason. He now has a limited no-trade clause, which allows Matthews to veto trades to four teams.

He said he's yet to determine those teams.

The segment features interviews with Jim and Janet Adenhart, Jered Weaver, Torii Hunter, Mike Butcher and Jon Wilhite, narration and reporting by Mary Carillo.

I've seen an early cut of the segment and it is terrific. It rehashes much of story most Angel fans are familiar with and supplements it with some great original footage and home movies.

It's definitely worth a look. In addition to tonight at 10 p.m., the program can also be seen on Oct. 27, 2:20 a.m., Oct. 29 noon and midnight, Oct. 31 9:30 a.m., and various days in November.

"I'm not thinking so much about the uncertainty," Guerrero said, "I'm thinking about my mom and how comfortable she feels in Anaheim."

Guerrero, John Lackey, Chone Figgins, Bobby Abreu, Kelvim Escobar, Robb Quinlan and Darren Oliver are all eligible for free agency this offseason.

Lackey and Figgins might be the hardest to re-sign. The Angels will be unwilling to pay exorbitantly for Guerrero but could sign the aging slugger to a one-year contract.

"I'm not going there," Lackey said when asked if he felt this could be his last moment as an Angel.

Quinlan: "I'm not even thinking about it right now. I'm frustrated we lost."

Figgins, when asked if he thought it may have been his last game in an Angel uniform: "I really hope its not."

In short, it was not Angels baseball.

The Angels threw away their chances to extend the American League Championship to seven games with a 5-2 loss to the Yankees in Game 6 at Yankee Stadium.

A long offseason now awaits.

Gary Matthews Jr. struck out swinging against Mariano Rivera in the ninth inning Sunday to send the Yankees to their 40th World Series in franchise history, as flashbulbs popped inside the new Yankee Stadium and several Angels hung on the railing of their dugout in disbelief.

It put sobering conclusion on one of the most trying seasons in franchise history, one that began with the death of pitcher Nick Adenhart but ended with the team's first appearance in the ALCS since 2005.

"He's looking down just as disappointed as we are," pitcher Jered Weaver said of Adenhart.

Needing to score two runs in the final six outs, the Angels pressed their luck in the eighth inning by scoring once off Rivera but knew the odds of striking twice against baseball's best reliever were slim. Until Vladimir Guerrero's RBI single in the eighth inning, Rivera hadn't give up a run in a postseason home game since Oct. 22, 2000.

But in a calamitous eighth inning, in which the Angels botched two sacrifice bunt attempts by the Yankees, the Angels not only gave him cushion but practically sealed their fate.

Ervin Santana, who'd given up just one run in relief over 5 2/3 playoff innings, walked leadoff batter Robinson Cano. Scioscia went to Scott Kazmir and the results were immediately disastrous.

The Yankees twice offered the Angels an easy out by attempting to bunt runners into scoring position but twice the Angels fumbled the opportunity. First Nick Swisher hit a bunt down the first base line, which Kendry Morales fielded cleanly and threw to first. It seemed perfect, but Howie Kendrick dropped the ball, perhaps distracted by Swisher barreling toward him.

First and second nobody out.

"I just made a mistake," Kendrick said. "There's nothing to explain. I just dropped it. There's no excuse. I just dropped the ball. The throw was there, I just dropped it."

Now it was Melky Cabrera's turn to sacrifice. This time Kazmir fielded the ball cleanly and turned toward first base. He saw Kendrick moving to cover first and made an indecisive throw toward the bag that sailed high over Kendrick's head and into foul territory. Cano circled he bases to score the fourth run and pinch-runner Brett Gardner and Cabrera each moved into scoring position.

Gardner scored three batters later on a sacrifice fly by Mark Teixiera to give the Yankees a 5-2 lead.

"I wanted to step and throw, but then I saw him on the move and I kind of wanted to ease up a bit and I airmailed it," Kazmir said.

To make up one run against Rivera might seem daunting but doable. To make up three must have felt futile.

In the end it was.

The Angels were done in by nine walks Sunday, just 3 1/3 innings from starting pitcher Joe Saunders and two errors. They dropped all three games at Yankee Stadium, where on Sunday a record 50,173 fans watched Game 6.

It was in this building where the Angels committed seven errors during Games 1, 2 and 6, which is a major reason why the Yankees will meet the Phillies on Wednesday in Game 1 of the World Series.

"At times we played good baseball," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "At times we shot ourselves in the foot. The Yankees are a team that you can't give extra outs to. We did it in a couple of games, and obviously it cost us."

It exceeds the listed seating capacity -- 50,086 -- by 87 seats, some of which is surely from the standing-room only crowd in centerfield.
