It sounds like Cole Percival wanted to wear an Angels uniform, but he becomes a Dodger instead.

According to a recent report by Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times, the son of former Angels closer Troy Percival has signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers as a free agent. Cole Percival was in the running to be selected in this year’s MLB First-Year Player Draft, but the shortened nature of the draft left him on the open market.

As Torres outlines for the Los Angeles Times, Cole Percival had a lot of interest in becoming a member of the Angels, but the Angels ultimately passed.
