Matt Moore
Matt Moore signed with the Angels before the 2023 season for 1 year and $7.55 million. They waived the left-handed reliever to shed salary in order to avoid the luxury tax penalties, and lost him to Cleveland. Moore resigned before the 2024 season for 1 year and $9 million.
The 35-year-old reliever appeared in 51 games, but was shut down for good in late-August with a forearm injury. Moore had the worst FIP, HR/9, and BB/9 of his entire 13-year-career in 2024. He ranked last in fWAR amongst Angels pitchers, which says a lot given how poor the entire staff pitched this season. Like Drury, Moore is simply too ineffective to retain next season, even at a reduced salary and role.
The Angels are luckily gifted with a multitude of intriguing bullpen arms moving forward, and have never had too many issues in signing free agent relievers in recent years. Between any free agent signing they make, plus Ben Joyce, Robert Stephenson (yes, he still exists), Brock Burke, José Quijada, and Ryan Zeferjahn, the Angels could put together a decent bullpen without Moore.
