Angels Release Guillo Zuñiga

By Darragh McDonald | November 15, 2024 at 5:54pm CDT

The Angels announced that right-hander Guillo Zuñiga has been released. He had been designated for assignment earlier this week as the corresponding move when the club signed catcher Travis d’Arnaud.

Zuñiga, 26, spent less than a year as an Angel. He was acquired from the Cardinals in February in a cash deal and spent the 2024 season as an optionable depth arm for the Halos. He made 15 appearances at the big league level, allowing 5.09 earned runs per nine. His 15.8% strikeout rate and 10.5% walk rate in that time were both subpar. He also tossed 28 1/3 innings in the minors with a 5.08 ERA, 15.4% strikeout rate and 7.3% walk rate.

Those results got the righty bumped off the roster and into free agency. He will now assess options on the open market, which will likely lead to a minor league deal. He does have upper 90s velocity and was able to put up some good numbers not too long ago.

With the Dodgers in 2021 and 2022, he tossed 90 Double-A innings with a 4.10 ERA, 29.8% strikeout rate and 11.1% walk rate. He reached free agency ahead of 2023 and got a surprising major league deal with the Cards. But that club only let him toss two major league innings while he posted a 7.63 ERA in Triple-A. A trade to the Angels didn’t lead to a bounceback but he’s still young and some club might take a bet on the arm to see if they can work with it.

      Guillo Zuñiga, MLB pitcher who has pitched in 17 games and recorded 2 saves. Something you haven’t done, Birdie man.

        I don’t know. Birdie man could’ve been, say, Andrew Miller. You never know…

    They’ll replace him with someone just like him

    Except older and more expensive.

    Just another masterstroke move from the mastermind Perry Menasian. His track record speaks for itself. I believe the clubs winning percentage since he was hired is right around 35%!!! Bang, World Series coming ASAP, say 2049 or so.

    Might see him go to the NPB ala Javy Guerra or Darwinzon Hernandez. See if he can rein in his control and cut down on the walks, because he’s got stuff. Though he probably won’t be quite as good as Hernandez was last year in the NPB.

    too bad he doesn’t have TJ surgery on his resume to go with those less than stellar numbers. The Red Sox would swoop in and give him a deal had that happened. Hell, they may swoop in and give him a deal anyway.

    Angels can win enough in 2025, to make a wild card spot. For some reason loosing 99 ball games, didn’t bother me much. Probably because I am not on the team! I enjoy watching reality sports ( angels only).
    Imagine, that every game has a script. The player drops the ball, or throws wild, on purpose. The most blatant example I know of a team aiding and abetting another team, and that would be the 5th inning, where judge drops the routine catch.
    The answer of why did the mgr bring in that reliever, knowing it wouldn’t work out, is because he wants to loose. I finally realize that baseball players are actors, following a script. The fix is always on. How often does the house win? I do not take baseball so serious anymore. It would be like being serious about horse racing, or wwe, or nba
    It’s not just the umpires, making game changing calls. It’s also the reliever who comes in at the end of a tie game, and walks the first 2 batters
