Relieved by the Los Angeles Angels and the Cincinnati Reds on Monday afternoon, the Cincinnati sent Rice Iglesias and cash matters to the nearby West in exchange for a player named Noi Ramirez and later named.

Iglesias, who will turn 31 in January, will earn 9. 9.125 million next season before qualifying for free agency. In the last three seasons, it has averaged 17.117 ERA (111 ERA +) and a 9.98 strike-to-ratio ratio, recording 728 savings. Iglesias relies heavily on three pitches: a fastball ball in the mid-90s, a slider and a change. Each one is a capable Bat-Misser.

Statistics of Iglesia as the Angels approached. He is the second player to be acquired by trade through new general manager Perry Minassian in the past week, joining shortstop Jose Iglesias. Angels are hoping to reach the postseason for the first time since 2014. Minasian individuals will do more work ahead of them, especially with regard to the rest of the pitching staff.

The Reds, for their part, are said to be ready to move right-handed starter Sonny Gray, indicating that the team is interested in a pay cut – which is unclear whether the ninth, despite their first playoff appearance since 2001. Will handle the position. Innings for Cincinnati next season: Rich Garrett and Lucas Sims will have to count on current picks, although it’s possible the Reds will add a P ve candidate before the spring roll.

Ramirez, 31, has three additional years of team control left at the end of December. Of the three perfect asons spent with the Angels, he had a 4.13 ERA (107 ERA +) and a 3.19 strikeout-to-W ratio. Ramirez’s arsenal includes an Upper-80 fastball ball, a transformation and a swing-and-miss curve. According to the MLB Trade Rumors Forecasting System, he estimates he will make more than a million in arbitration.
