Angels Ink Rodney
Los Angeles, CA – A person familiar with the negotiations tells The Associated Press that reliever Fernando Rodney has reached a preliminary agreement with the Los Angeles Angels on a two-year deal worth $11 million.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal hasn’t been finalized. Rodney must pass a physical for it to be completed.
Rodney spent the past seven seasons in the Detroit Tigers’ bullpen, including the past two as their closer. The hard-throwing right-hander had 37 saves last season with a 4.40 ERA and just one blown save.
The agreement was first reported by ESPN.com.
