Right-hander Juan Rincon has opted out of his contract with the Angels and elected free agency, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports tweets. Rincon had signed a minor league deal with Los Angeles in February.
Rincon, 33, has a 3.12 ERA with 8.0 K/9 and 6.2 BB/9 in 26 innings at Triple-A this year. The ten-year MLB veteran has started three games and pitched out of the bullpen in 14 others. He last pitched in MLB with the 2010 Rockies.
“Can he pitch?” – Brian Cashman
This guy is not a terrible pitcher, someone needing bullpen depth should give him a shot.
I hear Billy Beane really wants Rincon. I wonder what it means for Magnante.
Different Rincon but still really funny!!!
Oh, I know. I just had to do it.
