Angels Sign Veteran Pitcher Kyle Hendricks

News summary

Veteran pitcher Kyle Hendricks, formerly of the Chicago Cubs, has signed a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Angels valued at around $3 million, marking the end of his 11-year tenure with the Cubs. Hendricks, known for his cerebral pitching style and as the last player from the Cubs' 2016 World Series team, struggled in 2024 with a 5.92 ERA but showed improvement in the latter half of the season. The Angels, undergoing a roster retooling, hope Hendricks can offer both performance and mentorship to their young pitching staff. This move follows other offseason acquisitions by the Angels, including slugger Jorge Soler. Despite the challenges, Hendricks' potential to return to form makes him a low-risk, high-reward signing for the rebuilding team. The California native’s signing is also a homecoming, as his father once worked for the Angels.
