Angels show interest in free-agent catcher Wilson Ramos

The Angels are among five teams interested in signing free-agent catcher Wilson Ramos, according to a person familiar with the situation but not authorized to speak on it publicly.

Ramos is a nine-year veteran who was an All-Star for the second time in his career last year, when he batted .306 with 15 home runs, 70 RBI and an .845 on-base-plus-slugging percentage. But injuries limited Ramos to 111 games between stints with the Tampa Bay Rays, who signed him to a two-year, $12.5-million contract in December 2016, and the Philadelphia Phillies, who acquired him at the nonwaiver trade deadline in July.
