US EditionAngels add relievers Drew Pomeranz, Jordan Romano
The Angels signed Pomeranz for $4 million and Romano for $2 million to add experienced arms amid injuries and uncertainty in their bullpen.
- On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Angels signed left-handed reliever Drew Pomeranz for $4 million and right-handed reliever Jordan Romano for $2 million for the 2026 season.
- The Angels have pursued low-risk upside by signing reclamation project Drew Pomeranz after missing 2022–24 and Romano, who underwent elbow surgery costing most of 2024.
- Pomeranz posted a 2.17 ERA in 57 games with the Chicago Cubs, and Romano had a 2.67 ERA over five seasons, but struggled to an 8.23 ERA last year.
- The moves provide depth while how Drew Pomeranz and Jordan Romano fit in the bullpen is unclear, and Romano represents more of a gamble after recent struggles.
- None of the other three additions this winter — Grayson Rodriguez, Alek Manoah and Vaughn Grissom — appeared in the majors in 2025, so the club relies on low-cost upside for the 2026 bullpen.
