Kenley Jansen, closer to free agent, accepted an agreement of $ 10 million in one year with the Angels, According to the New York Post.
Jansen, 37, heads for his 16th year in the majors. It was again effective last season as a main main thing, nailing 27 of its 31 chances of backup for the Red Sox. He launched an MPM of 3.29, 1.06 whip and withdrew 62 against 18 involuntary walks in 54 ⅔ sleeves.
All-Star four times and double lift of the year, Jansen is now fourth of all career time with 447. He could also arrive in third place this year, with Lee Smith at only 31 years old at 478. Mariano Rivera (652) and Trevor Hoffman (601) probably remain out of reach, but the possibility that Jansen builds a case of the renowned temple remains on the table.
Speaking of backups, Jansen will probably slip into the role of the closest with the angels. The young fire ball Ben Joyce was probably online to be closest, but the addition of Jansen probably hit him with a high -level configuration role. Last season, Carlos Estévez punctuated the angels in stops, but he was exchanged at the phillies of Philadelphia leading to the deadline. This offseason, Estévez signed with the Royals of Kansas City as a free agent. The angels were released from a season of 99 surges in 2024 and did not project to face the coming season. As such, the chances of safeguard of Jansen will probably not be as abundant as they would be with a real competitor (unless it is also negotiated on the deadline).
Age is a factor now, of course, and Jansen fought a shoulder injury last season. He was also affected by an irregular heart rate several times in his career. On the ground, however, even if it was not the monster that it was in the past, it remains more productive and intelligent money reproduced in 2025.
