9:45am: It’s a one-year, $10MM deal for Jansen, reports the Post’s Joel Sherman.
9:36am: The Angels have agreed to a deal with free agent reliever Kenley Jansen, reports Jon Heyman of the New York Post. The Wasserman client will step into the closer’s role and give manager Ron Washington an established option in the ninth inning.
The 37-year-old Jansen is coming off yet another fine season of ninth-inning work, having finished 38 games and tallied 27 saves for the 2024 Red Sox. He notched a 3.29 earned run average, fanned 28.4% of his opponents and posted a 9.2% walk rate in 54 1/3 frames during the second of his two years in Boston. Those 27 saves pushed him up to 447 in his career, placing him fourth all-time behind Mariano Rivera, Trevor Hoffman and Lee Smith. Jansen isn’t going to run down Rivera (652) and Hoffman (601), but he’s 31 saves behind Smith’s 478 — a number that seems plenty attainable, perhaps even this year.
More to come.
