Jered Weaver, who signed an $85 million contract last season to stay with the Angels, said it’s fine with him if the team offers free agent-to-be Zack Greinke more in the offseason.

At 40 years old, with his 26th Major League season winding down, Angels reliever Jason Isringhausen — one of only 15 players with 300 saves and 50 wins — is leaning toward retirement.

Right-hander Samuel Deduno left his start against the Yankees on Wednesday in the second inning with left eye irritation.

Of course, the Triple Crown has meaning. To suggest otherwise is silly. It’s an accomplishment to be celebrated, a spectacular collision of good fortune and achievement. That it has been done 15 times in 135 seasons is a testament to its difficulty.
