ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Veteran infielder Cliff Pennington became the first free agent to switch teams this offseason when the Los Angeles Angels signed him to a two-year, $3.75 million deal on Tuesday.
Pennington will make $1.5 million in 2016 and $2.25 million in 2017 with the Angels.
Pennington began last season with Arizona and moved to Toronto in a trade in August. The switch-hitting utilityman batted .210 with three homers and 21 RBI in 105 total games, making multiple starts at five positions.
Pennington also became the first full-time position player to pitch in a postseason game during the AL championship series.
