The Angels’ deal for Jeff Weaver is finalized for one year and $8.5MM, $9MM with incentives. He’ll be joining Angels pitchers and catchers in Phoenix on Thursday, according to the L.A. Times.
The article also mentions that Weaver’s agent, Scott Boras, said Weaver left better offers on the table. No doubt Boras and Weaver are trying to execute the strategy that worked so well for Kevin Millwood. The move pushes Hector Carrasco to the bullpen.
