Kenley Jansen Eyes Four More MLB Seasons

Los Angeles Angels closer Kenley Jansen has announced plans to pitch at least four more seasons, potentially extending his career into his early 40s. Jansen, currently with 467 career saves, is aiming to surpass Lee Smith for third on MLB's all-time saves list and join the 500-save club alongside Trevor Hoffman and Mariano Rivera. At age 37, he remains highly effective, posting a sub-3.00 ERA, recording 20 saves this season, and earning AL reliever of the month honors for July. Both Jansen and Angels general manager Perry Minasian have agreed to postpone contract discussions until after the season. Jansen has expressed his dedication to staying in peak form and values his tenure with the Angels. The team faces a key decision on whether to retain veteran players like Jansen or move toward a roster rebuild.
