The Angels are building a quietly solid team with a lot of star power in Shohei Ohtani, Mike Trout, and Anthony Rendon. However, the bullpen was not a team strength. If Moore comes close to repeating his 2022 numbers, he adds a big boost to the bullpen.Brent Maguire@bmags94This is a sensible move. Moore isn’t going to repeat his 1.95 ERA but there’s some underlying stuff that supports him being a super useful reliever now. Last year represented career-best marks (min. 50 IP) in xERA (2.83), FIP (2.98), strikeout % (27.3%), and barrel rate (4.4%). twitter.com/ken_rosenthal/…Ken Rosenthal@Ken_RosenthalFree-agent left-handed reliever Matt Moore closing in on deal with Angels, a source tells @TheAthletic.

He made his major-league debut in 2011 and progressed well through his first three MLB campaigns. His high-water mark came in 2013 when he went 17-4 with a 3.29 ERA -- along with a major league-leading 17 wild pitches -- and made his only All-Star Game appearance to date.However, it all came crashing down in 2014, when Moore was shut down with a sprained Ulnar Collateral Ligament in his left elbow. Later that year, he had Tommy John surgery and was never the same afterward.Moore's star had faded by 2016, and he was traded to the San Francisco Giants, where he went on to lose a National League-leading 17 games in 2017. Over the next five years, he bounced from the Texas Rangers to the Detroit Tigers to the Philadelphia Phillies and back to the Rangers. Texas is the only team that hasn't used him exclusively as a starter.One would think that the Los Angeles Angels would not try to mess with a good thing and keep him in the bullpen.
