Angels Closing in on Contract with Brent Suter
The Los Angeles Angels are closing in on a contract with relief pitcher Brent Suter, according to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. Suter has bounced between the rotation and bullpen throughout his 10-year MLB career, but has begun to settle in as a primary reliever over the past five campaigns. Last summer, the reliever spent his second season with the Reds and logged 67 2/3 innings to the tune of a 4.52 ERA with a 1.29 WHIP. He struck out 53 hitters while showing above-average command, posting a 6.2% walk rate. He also limited hard contact at a stellar 32.9% rate while generating groundballs at a high 45.4% rate, suggesting he may see some positive regression in 2026. With the Angels, managers should expect Suter to operate in a middle-relief role, with the upside to earn occasional starts.
