Matt Harvey Released by Angels; Made 12 Starts After Signing $11M Contract

Matt Harvey's time with the Los Angeles Angels is over after 12 starts.

On Sunday, the Angels announced they requested unconditional release waivers for the right-handed starter with the intention of granting him a full release. Harvey signed a one-year deal worth $11 million with Los Angeles prior to the 2019 campaign but failed to live up to expectations.

He posted a 7.09 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 39 strikeouts in 59.2 innings during those 12 starts and didn't look like the All-Star with a bright future he once was on the New York Mets.
