ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Angels have acquired right-hander Aaron Slegers from the Tampa Bay Rays for cash or a player to be named.
The clubs announced the deal Monday night.
The 6-foot-10 Slegers mostly pitched in long relief for the AL champion Rays last season, going at least two innings in nine of his 11 appearances while compiling a 3.46 ERA. He allowed just five earned runs over 24 innings in his final 10 appearances, and kept up the strong work with a 1.80 ERA in three playoff outings covering five innings.
