Detmers agreed to a one-year, $1.825 million contract with the Angels on Thursday, avoiding arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. The left-hander spent much of 2024 in the minors and finished with a 6.70 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 109:38 K:BB in 17 starts with the Angels. Detmers may need a strong showing during spring training in order to break camp with the big-league club in 2025.

Detmers may need a strong showing during spring training in order to break camp with the big-league club in 2025.
The Angels and Adell avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.1 million contract Thursday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. It's a nice raise for Adell, who was in his first year of arbitration eligibility. The former top prospect slashed .207/.280/.402in 2024 in his first year as a full-timer at the big-league level, popping 20 home runs and stealing 15 bases along the way.
Ward and the Angels agreed to a one-year, $7.825 million contract Thursday to avoid arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. Ward clubbed a career-high 25 homers last season and will receive a raise of just over $3 million for 2025, which is his penultimate year of arbitration eligibility. He's been a popular name in trade rumors over the past year, but for now it appears he'll be back with the Angels for Opening Day.
Burke signed a one-year, $1.15 million contract with the Angels on Wednesday to avoid arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. Burke logged a 3.54 ERA and 1.13 WHIP over 20.1 innings upon joining the Angels in August -- good enough to earn the southpaw a nice $90,000 raise for the upcoming season. He didn't pitch often in high-leverage situations, finishing 2024 with just one hold and a blown save, though that could change if his success carries over into 2025.
The Angels signed Brogdon to a minor-league contract Wednesday, Taylor Blake Ward of The Sporting Tribune reports. Brogdon made a total of just 18 appearances between the majors and minors in 2024 due to a foot injury, although he ended the season healthy. The righty reliever flashed some bat-missing ability with the Phillies from 2020 to 2022 with a 25.1 percent strikeout rate.
The Angels designated Daniel for assignment Wednesday. The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Chuckie Robinson, who was acquired in a trade Wednesday. Daniel, 27, made six starts for the Angels in 2024, posting a 6.23 ERA and 28:6 K:BB over 30.1 innings. He has a solid 25.8 percent strikeout rate in the minors, so it's possible Daniel will draw interest via trade or waivers.
The Angels acquired Robinson from the White Sox on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations. The White Sox have acquired Kyle Teel and Matt Thaiss over the last week, so they had a surplus of catching depth. With Logan O'Hoppe and Travis d'Arnaud projected to be the Angels' catching duo in the majors, Robinson is likely to begin the 2025 season as depth at Triple-A Salt Lake.
The Angels signed Rivero to a minor-league contract Monday, broadcaster Chris Harris reports. Rivero, 26, slashed only .186/.239/.249 in 75 contests between Double-A Mississippi and Triple-A Gwinnett in the Atlanta organization in 2024. He saw some brief action at the major-league level with the Royals from 2021 to 2022.
