The Angels have agreed to a three-year contract with pitcher Yusei Kikuchi for a total of $63 million. Pitcher Kikuchi changed his pitching style significantly after transferring from the Blue Jays to the Astros last season. He achieved great success by focusing on two types of pitches: a high fastball and a low slider. A 95-96 mph fastball felt as powerful as a 98-100 mph fastball, and its effect was especially noticeable after he moved to the Astros. The Angels experienced a slump last season, breaking a franchise record with 99 losses. GM Perry Minassian needs to improve by more than 20 wins. BGM Song: Jim Yosef – Link [NCS Release]
