Veteran starting pitcher Trevor Cahill has signed a one year, $9 million deal with the Los Angeles Angels. Incentives could raise that amount to $10.5 million. Cahill's signing comes only days after the Halos added former New York Met and Cincinnati Red Matt Harvey.
Cahill spent 2018 with the Oakland A's. In his second stint with the club, Cahill went 7-4 with a 3.76 ERA in 20 starts for the AL Wild Card finalist. Cahill and Harvey will join a rotation featuring Andrew Heaney, Tyler Skaggs and Jaime Barria. All five pitchers were serviceable rather than sensational. Of course, if one of them has a breakout season or if Cahill and Harvey return to their old form then the Angels could make things interesting for Brad Ausmus' inaugural season in Anaheim.
Of course, things would get a lot more interesting if the Angels traded for Corey Kluber or signed Dallas Keuchel, both former AL Cy Young winners.
