4 years agoThe Los Angeles Angels have traded for Cincinnati Reds closer Raisel Iglesias, according to a Twitter post by the Angels. Relief pitcher Noe Ramirez and a player to be named later will head to Cincinnati. Iglesias should immediately slot into the closer role for an Angels team that had five different players earn a save last season. Iglesias was eight for 10 in save chances last season and was one of the most reliable closers during his time with the Reds. The 30-year-old had at least 28 saves three straight seasons before last year and owns a solid 3.15 career ERA. The strikeout artist posted a K-rate over 30 percent in three of the last four seasons so he will help in more than just saves. Iglesias should be among the safest relievers to target in 2021 drafts.--Mike Schwarzenbach - RotoBaller
