Kirby Yates Signs One-Year Deal with Los Angeles Angels

Veteran right-hander Kirby Yates has officially signed a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Angels. The 39-year-old made 50 regular-season appearances for the Dodgers in 2025, posting a 5.23 ERA with a 52:17 K:BB ratio over 41.1 innings. Despite his high ERA, Yates continues to demonstrate bat-missing ability and could be in contention for a closing role as part of the Angels' unsettled bullpen, offering a potential boost to their relief corps.
