Angels Designate Miguel Almonte For Assignment

By Mark Polishuk | January 20, 2019 at 6:22pm CDT

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 was thinking the same thing. Wouldn’t want Trout to pick up any of Machado’s bad habits.

      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.
