"The Los Angeles Angels are in serious discussions with free-agent reliever Fernando Rodney, according to a source familiar with the negotiations, reports ESPN.com's Jayson Stark.
The Angels are looking to supplement their bullpen after learning right-hander Jose Arredondo will miss the entire 2010 season. If Rodney signs with L.A. the Philadelphia Phillies, who showed interest in Rodney earlier this month, would be forced to look elsewhere for relief help.
There have been no indications that the Halos are supplanting Brian Fuentes from the closer's role, so presumably Rodney would set up Fuentes to start the year (ESPN)."
The Angels have had a terrible offseason so far. They have lost Lackey, and Figgins, if that wasn't enough it looks like Vlad will be gone also. All they have to show for their offseason is Matsui....Wow. Rodney would be a decent signing, but I am not big on him, or Fuentes for that matter. If this is the team they are going to open the season with in 2010, then I think Seattle is going to fly right by them in the AL West.
