LA Angels general manager Billy Eppler has been in on almost every major free agent pitcher as well inquiring about acquiring so pitchers through trades. They have also talked to a few free agent catchers and of course to Anthony Rendon and agent Scott Boras who they ended up making a seven-year commitment to during the Winter Meetings in San Diego.
Now that the Angels have missed out on pretty much every big free agent pitcher (Gerrit Cole, Stephen Strausburg, Dallas Keuchel, and Madison Bumgarner). While there is still hope the Angels can sign the last big name pitching free agent Hyun-Jin Ryu, if they don’t and they decide to stand pat with acquiring Dylan Bundy from Baltimore and signing former Braves’ hurler Julio Teheran, will it be enough to compete.
