The Angels have signed Jason Isringhausen to a minor league contract, reports MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez (on Twitter). Mike DiGiovanna of The Los Angeles Times says (on Twitter) that Izzy can become a free agent if he doesn't make the team since he has no interest in playing in Triple-A. The right-hander is a Beverly Hills Sports Council client.
Isringhausen, 39, appeared in 53 games for the Mets last season, pitching to a 4.05 ERA with 8.5 K/9 and 4.6 BB/9 in 46 2/3 innings. He saved seven games, including the 300th of his career. The Halos have been looking to strengthen their bullpen, and Izzy gives them some veteran, right-handed depth.
good backup option
I like this, nothing flashy but really can’t be any worse than Rodney.
minor league deal… sure, why not?
Like this too, will be a good person to battle for the last couple of bullpen spots and provide some veteran leadership.
so the angels have 2 Izzy’s now? crazy.
I like the signing for the most part. Can’t really hurt, just more veteran leadership to help the young guys.
Billy Beane should have signed him
only because he was mentioned in Moneyball lol
Not bad i’ll take it
I was hoping he could come back to the Mets, but I’m glad he may have a shot at winning a championship.
IZZYYYYYYY
IZZYYYYYYY
Not another BP arm? Did you see any games last year?
