Angels sign ex-A's All-Star closer to minor league deal

Reliever Andrew Bailey has a new home.

After spending the first four months of the season with the Phillies, the 2009 AL Rookie of the Year signed a minor league deal with the Angels Saturday.

Bailey will report to Triple-A Salt Lake, according to the Orange Country Register's Jeff Fletcher.

The 32-year-old Bailey was released by the Phillies on August 6 after posting a 6.40 ERA in 32.1 innings over 33 appearances this season.

After three successful seasons with the A's from 2009 to 2011, which included two All-Star Game selections, Bailey has bounced around from the Red Sox to the Yankees to the Phillies.
