Just before Thanksgiving, the Angels signed pitcher Jake Faria to a minor league contract, giving the Southern California native a chance to pitch for his hometown team.
“I grew up in Anaheim and my dream of being a big leaguer started at The Big A,” Faria tweeted on Wednesday. “I’ve wanted nothing more than to wear ‘Angels’ across my chest while representing my hometown and I’m thankful to finally have that opportunity.”
