Angels Exercise Street Option, Decline Burnett Option, Return Moran To Mariners

By Jeff Todd | October 30, 2014 at 3:22pm CDT

The Angels have announced a series of transactions (Twitter links). As expected, the team exercised its $7MM option over closer Huston Street while declining a $4.5MM option over reliever Sean Burnett. The Halos also returned Rule 5 lefty Brian Moran to the Mariners after he cleared waivers.

Street, 31, was an easy decision. He excelled before and after coming to Los Angeles via trade, and a big part of his value came in the ability to control him for 2015. Burnett, on the other hand, struggled with significant shoulder problems during his ill-fated time with the Angels.

The 26-year-old Moran, meanwhile, never had much of a chance to stick with the Angels. Though he was expected to compete for a LOOGY role, Moran underwent Tommy John surgery in early April.

    Burnett basically took 2 years of paid vacation with the Angels.

      Oh come on.

      Is 10.1 innings of work over two years not enough for you?

      With no IBB too?!!

      What more does one want…i mean he only got the paltry sum of $7.25m for his efforts, little under $1m an inning…now that is what i call piece work.

    Didn’t Burnett also have TJ surgery in June?

    Well that takes some dead weight off their roster. Actually does leave room for a new reliever if they don’t bring back Grilli, which I don’t really think they should. When do the contracts of Vernon Wells, Joe Blanton, Raul Ibanez, and Joe Thatcher officially expire?

      Just before Trout’s contract starts.

    Glad Burnett rested his arm the past two years so he can be ready to come back to the Nats.
