Angels Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
The Angels couldn't acquire left-hander Brian Fuentes when they needed a setup man. But they did land him when they needed a new closer.
Fuentes was a target at the trade deadline in July when the Angels were looking to strengthen their bullpen for the stretch run. They could not work out a deal with the Rockies that would have added Fuentes as a setup option leading to closer Francisco Rodriguez.
But with Rodriguez gone via free agency, the Angels targeted Fuentes again. This time, they landed the free agent reliever, signing him to a two-year, $17.5 million contract to replace Rodriguez in 2009.
The contract includes an option for a third season at $9 million.
"Brian Fuentes has been in our sights for some time," Angels general manager Tony Reagins said.

"We wanted to continue the partnership," he said.
