ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Billy Eppler has said throughout the offseason that the Los Angeles Angels' top priority was adding stability to the pitching staff. The general manager believes he's done that by bringing in Julio Teheran.
The Angels announced Saturday they have signed the two-time All-Star to a $9 million, one-year contract. Teheran has spent the past seven seasons with the Atlanta Braves.
''It was important to bring some stability and certainty to our rotation,'' Eppler said. ''He has the ability to command all his pitches and brings some deception to his arsenal.
