MLB Angels reinforce bullpen with Stevenson Will they start recruiting free agents?

The Los Angeles Angels of the American Professional Baseball (MLB) recruited right-handed bullpen Robert Stevenson (30).

According to MLB.com on the 24th (Korean time), the Angels signed free agent (FA) Stevenson for a total of $33 million (about 44.21 billion won) over three years.

If Stevenson stays on the injured list (IL) for more than 130 consecutive days with an elbow injury, the Angels can exercise his $2.5 million club option for the 2027 season.

Angels general manager Perry Minassian explained, "This is a protection clause from an injury perspective," and added, "Whether it takes three or four years, we hope to be able to get three years' worth of performance." 메이저-토토사이트

Stevenson played in 271 games over eight seasons in the big leagues, recording 17 wins, 20 losses, and an ERA of 4.64.

Last June, he wore the Tampa Bay Rays uniform and took advantage of the effect of modifying his release point (where he releases the ball), playing 42 games and 38 1/3 innings with an ERA of 2.35.

As a result, the Angels have completed the task of strengthening the team's bullpen, which ranked 25th in the league in ERA in the 2023 season (4.88).

Previously, the Angels recruited bullpen pitchers such as Luis Garcia, Adam Kolarek, and Adam Simber during the off-season.

Meanwhile, there are also predictions that the Angels may recruit a starting pitcher free agent to fill the void left by Shohei Ohtani, who left the team.

MLB.com predicted, “There is a possibility that the Angels will add a left-handed bullpen, but they are expected to shift their attention to starting pitchers such as Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery.”

Ryu Hyun-jin, who remains in the free agent market, may also be subject to review.

Sports Illustrated (SI) also evaluated Ryu Hyun-jin in November last year, saying, “As a great veteran, he can be a good third or fourth starter for the Angels.” 토토사이트 추천
