The St. Louis Cardinals have agreed to a one-year deal with right-hander Bud Norris, according to multiple reports.
The deal, which is pending a physical, was first reported Monday by The Athletic.
Norris, 32, made 57 relief appearances and three starts for the Los Angeles Angels last season, going 2-6 with 19 saves and a 4.21 ERA. He struck out 74 batters in 62 innings.
Norris excelled in his role as the Angels' closer after having mostly worked as a starter in the majors. He finished 19-for-23 in save chances after collecting no saves in his eight previous major league seasons.
