LOS ANGELES (AP) --
LOS ANGELES (AP) - 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
