Los Angeles Angels Sign Veteran Closer Kenley Jansen to Bolster Bullpen

The Angels add MLB's active saves leader on a one-year, $10 million deal as part of an aggressive offseason strategy.

Kenley Jansen, a three-time All-Star and MLB's active saves leader with 447 career saves, joins the Los Angeles Angels on a one-year, $10 million contract.
The Angels aim to strengthen their bullpen by positioning Jansen as their closer, moving young flamethrower Ben Joyce to a setup role.
This signing is part of a broader offseason effort by the Angels to improve their roster, which includes acquiring veterans such as Jorge Soler, Kyle Hendricks, and Yoan Moncada.
The Angels are seeking to end a playoff drought that dates back to 2014, despite having star players like Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani in recent years.
Jansen's addition brings experience and stability to a team that struggled with injuries and consistency last season, finishing with a franchise-worst 63-99 record.
