The Los Angeles Angels and closer Raisel Iglesias are working toward an agreement on a four-year contract, according to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal.
The 31-year-old emerged as a solid closer for the Cincinnati Reds in 2017, combining for 92 saves between the 2017-19 seasons and eight saves in the shortened 2020 campaign.
That resume caught the attention of the Angels, who had an MLB-worst 14 blown saves in 2020. They traded pitcher Noe Ramirez to the Reds last December to acquire Iglesias, hoping he'd lock down the ninth inning for the team.
When the Angels actually got him a lead to protect he was solid, with 34 saves in 39 attempts to go along with a 2.
