The Angels agreed to terms with veteran reliever Al Alburquerque on a one-year, $1.1-million contract, pending a physical, on Friday, but have yet to reach 2016 contract agreements for two arbitration-eligible players, pitcher Garrett Richards and right fielder Kole Calhoun.
The Angels offered Richards $5.3 million and the hard-throwing right-hander countered with $7.1 million. The team offered Calhoun $2.35 million and he asked for $3.9 million.
If the sides can't reach agreements in the next two weeks, they would go to hearings in February in which an arbitrator would choose one figure or the other.
