2 years, $17.5M, reportedly, with options and stuff, plus they give up a first-round pick to Colorado. Last year, league average ERA for a relief pitcher was 4.09. Marcel the Monkey projects Fuentes to have a 3.69 FIP next year. Probably an overpay, but there's plenty of upside.

Cup of Coffee The melting continues. I'm seeing grass around the trees in the front (north side) of the yard. Roof is ice free. Grass showing up in the back yard.

That's better than, say, handing K-Rod $75 million, or even $37 million for three years, like the Mets did. Then again, signing K-Rod to 3-37 wouldn't have involved forfeiting a #1 pick.
Then again, signing K-Rod to 3-37 wouldn't have involved forfeiting a #1 pick.
In a practical sense, that's not really true. The Angels' choices were either keep K-Rod and pay him, or let him go and get the Mets' first-round pick. By keeping K-Rod, they would have forfeited the rights to the Mets' first-round pick and the supplementary pick.
By signing Fuentes and letting K-Rod walk, essentially they saved some cash, downgraded some at closer, traded their first-round pick for the Mets' first-round pick, and gained a supplementary first-round pick. Overall, that looks like a good deal to me.
Forgot about that angle. Yep, I like what the Angels did there.
