The Angels have designated right-hander Miguel Almonte for assignment, the club announced. The move creates a 40-man roster space for reliever Cody Allen, whose signing is now official.
Almonte tossed seven relief innings for the Halos last season, posting a 10.29 ERA with seven strikeouts and three walks. The 25-year-old joined the organization after an April trade with the Royals. Originally signed as a teenager out of the Dominican Republic by the Royals in 2010, Almonte has a 3.99 ERA, 8.7 K/9, and 2.75 K/BB rate over 577 2/3 innings in the minors, appearing most frequently as a reliever over the last three seasons. Over 17 2/3 total MLB frames with the Royals and Angels, Almonte has an 8.66 ERA.
As long as Allen can keep his ERA under 10.29 it’s a win.!?…. I guess
I predict he’ll maintain a sub 3 ERA…that would be sweet if I’m right.
I hope your right
Fake news. No mention of his 2017 ERA of 13….oh wait.
I wonder who the Angels will DFA when Machado signs.???
Trout….
I was thinking the same thing. Wouldn’t want Trout to pick up any of Machado’s bad habits.
watch blue jays will pick him up
Not a surprise. He seemed the obvious man out.
Is this the same Little League World Series guy?
Uh,no
That was Danny Almonte. Never drafted, Played some small college and indy league ball. Last I read he had a sore arm and was a coach at his old HS.
I can see the Orioles making a move on him. Hes only 25 and he could be a depth addition to the pen. But otherwise its not that big of news.
Should have been Noe Ramirez
I love Ausmus cleaning house of all the hand-me-down losers
