When Billy Eppler traded left-handed specialist José Alvarez earlier this offseason for flamethrower Luis Garcia, fans were questioning the move. However, Eppler silenced any critics of the trade today with the signing of relief pitcher Dan Jennings.
Jennings has posted a 2.96 ERA over the course of his 7-year career, and was signed to a minor league contract by the Angels. He has been rather reliable, and had a solid season for the Milwaukee Brewers last season. The Brewers ultimately non-tendered Jennings, who the Angels will pay $1 million should he make the roster.
