The Los Angeles Angels continued their offseason-long pursuit of bullpen help Tuesday, agreeing to terms on a one-year, $9 million deal to bring back veteran left-hander Matt Moore, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan.

The Moore agreement comes on the same day the Angels announced a three-year, $33 million deal with Robert Stephenson. He and Moore likely will serve as setup men for incumbent closer Carlos Estevez.

Moore, 34, posted a 2.66 ERA with 49 strikeouts and 12 walks in 44 innings with the Angels last season, then was placed on waivers and ultimately claimed by the Cleveland Guardians as part of the team's aggressive attempts to shed salary and dip under the luxury tax threshold at the end of August.
