Angels Reach $1.95 Million One-Year Agreement With Alek Manoah

The reported pact gives Los Angeles a low-cost bet on a former All-Star seeking a post–Tommy John rebound.

Overview

  • ESPN's Jeff Passan and MLB.com's Mark Feinsand report a fully guaranteed major-league deal, and the club has not announced the terms.
  • Manoah, 27, was non-tendered by the Braves in November after they claimed him on waivers from the Blue Jays in September.
  • The right-hander underwent Tommy John surgery in June 2024 and made 10 rehab starts in 2025, recording a 2.97 ERA over seven outings with Triple-A Buffalo.
  • He last pitched in the majors in May 2024 for Toronto, two years after a 2022 All-Star season with a 2.24 ERA and a third-place finish in AL Cy Young voting.
  • For his career, Manoah is 29-20 with a 3.34 ERA across 75 starts, and he is viewed as a reclamation play for an Angels rotation seeking pitching help.
