The Angels' bullpen has been a forgotten about position group so far this offseason, as the only relief pitchers the Halos have been talked about alongside are Kenley Jansen and Cody Laweryson (whom they claimed off of waivers). While the Jansen reunion should be their top priority right now, the Angels will have to pivot hard if the future Hall of Fame closer finds a new home for 2026 and beyond. And even if they bring Jansen back, they barely have enough healthy relievers on the 40-man to form a complete bullpen.
Scouring the bargain free agents and finding more waiver claims will be key to them building a sturdy bullpen in 2026, and luckily the Angels have a chance at doing just that after the Toronto Blue Jays designated an exceptional relief pitcher for assignment.
