Angels prepare for spring training with new pitchers Kikuchi and Hendricks
The Los Angeles Angels are preparing for spring training with new pitchers Yusei Kikuchi and Kyle Hendricks joining the team. They aim to improve after a poor 2024 season, where they ranked low in key pitching statistics. The Angels lost pitchers Patrick Sandoval and Griffin Canning but are hopeful about their new additions. Kikuchi's contract is the largest in the current management era, surpassing the previous high for Raisel Iglesias. As pitchers and catchers report on February 12, the Angels have not yet released a full roster. Several players are vying for spots, including newcomers and returning pitchers looking to prove themselves.
