Reds Trade Closer Raisel Iglesias to Angels for Reliever Noé Ramirez

The Reds have traded closer Raisel Iglesias to the Angels in exchange for reliever Noé Ramirez and a player to be named later.

Cincinnati will also send cash to Los Angeles in the deal.

The trade comes at a much-needed time for the Angels, who led MLB with 14 blown saves in 2020. The club non-tendered five relievers last week, including Keynan Middleton and former closer Hansel Robles.

Iglesias, who will earn $9.125 million next season, can serve as the Angels' closer following his career 3.15 ERA and 106 saves in six seasons with the Reds.
