The Angels re-signed reliever Connor Brogdon on a minor league deal, according to the MLB.com transaction log. Brogdon, who had elected free agency last week after being designated for assignment, reports to Triple-A Salt Lake.
Los Angeles initially signed Brogdon to a minor league contract over the offseason. He had an ERA approaching 13.00 in Triple-A when the Angels nevertheless called him up in early May. Brogdon held an MLB bullpen spot for the next three months. He allowed 5.30 earned runs per nine over 37 1/3 innings. His strikeout, walk and home run rates were each on the wrong side of league average.
Brogdon looked like a potential leverage piece for the Phillies early in his career. He combined for a 3.36 ERA with solid strikeout and walk numbers in more than 100 innings between 2021-22. His numbers have tanked in the past few years (though he did collect a World Series ring last year after pitching one inning for the Dodgers in April). Brogdon still has a mid-90s fastball, and the Angels clearly still like him as a depth option. He’ll provide non-roster bullpen depth down the stretch.
It’s late I’m bored so I’ll look up who Conner Brogden is. Thanks for keeping me busy.
Connor. Brogdon.
I couldn’t even get his name right. I’m shamed
No surprise here.
Which Torres is this?
Eric Torres is playing Independent ball nowadays.
Not sure who you are referring to. Somebody else? I’m not familiar with any ex-Angels in the Brewers system.
Why can’t the Angels ever move on from reclaimed junk that didn’t pan out?
Minasian.
…and this is why we haven’t played over .500 in 11 years.
Worst organization in the MLB
Rockies.
Top five worst organizations in baseball, at lest it spends money. Top two worst run organizations in baseball.
Worst run. If the Marlins or As or Pirates had this payroll, they wouldn’t be nearly this bad.
It starts with the owner. I looked at a prospect list yesterday. One top 100 prospect. The number 2 pick is the 60th prospect.
Dumb from top to bottom.
