Raisel Iglesias, Los Angeles Angels agree to four-year deal, source says

Closer Raisel Iglesias and the Los Angeles Angels are in agreement on a four-year contract, a source familiar with the deal told ESPN’s Jeff Passan on Tuesday night.

Financial terms weren’t immediately known.

Iglesias, 31, had turned down the qualifying offer from the Angels but now ends up back in Anaheim.

He enjoyed a fantastic season on a Los Angeles pitching staff that was generally underwhelming in 2021, as he posted a 2.57 ERA with 34 saves in 65 appearances. Iglesias, 31, struck out 103 batters and issued only 12 walks in 70 innings for a career-best 8.58 strikeout-to-walk ratio and ultimately finished 11th in American League Cy Young Award voting.
