This time around the LA Angels lost out on Dallas Keuchel, who signed with the Chicago White Sox on a 3-year, $55.5 million deal. Keuchel was one of two true frontline starters left on the market, which makes this signing increase the panic in the Halo fanbase.
Now, the only option left is Hyun-Jin Ryu.
The contrast between Keuchel and Ryu isn’t how they pitch: they’re both soft-tossing southpaws who would play well into the Angels defensive dominance on the left side of the infield. However, their durability, ceiling, and floor is what separates them.
