The Angels have made two small signings as of late. One of them was bringing in a new arm in the form of Jesse Chavez. He was signed to a one-year, 5.75-million dollar contract with up to 3-million dollars in incentives. Chavez, 33, spent time with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays last year. He owned a 4.43 ERA over 62 games in his first full season as a relief pitcher since 2012. His ERA went up after the move to the bullpen, which is cause for concern about his future. Given his age, 2017 might be his last chance at providing useful, consistent pitching.
