Angels sign Cliff Pennington for 2 years, $3.75 million (The Associated Press)

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Veteran infielder Cliff Pennington became the first free agent to switch teams this offseason when the Los Angeles Angels signed him to a two-year, $3.75 million deal.

The Angels announced the signing Tuesday.

Pennington began last season with Arizona and moved to Toronto in a trade in August. The switch-hitting utilityman batted .210 with three homers and 21 RBIs in 105 total games, making multiple starts at five positions.

Pennington also became the first full-time position player to pitch in a postseason game during the AL championship series.
