The Angels' bullpen is a crucial component of their roster, and with the departure of Kenley Jansen, the team faces an uncertain future in the closer role. But here's where it gets controversial: while Ben Joyce has the potential to be dominant with his 105 mph throws, his injury history raises questions about his readiness for Opening Day. The Angels have signed several veteran free agents, including Kirby Yates and Jordan Romano, who are hoping to revive their careers after injuries. However, the team also has two relievers out of options, Chase Silseth and Kaleb Ort, who could make a strong case for a spot in the bullpen. The Angels' future relievers may also come from their starting rotation, with pitchers like Victor Mederos and Jack Kochanowicz, who could project as late-inning relievers. The team's last-minute deal for Brent Suter addresses their only realistic bullpen need before spring training, leaving the question of which starters to move to the bullpen open for debate. With so many variables at play, the Angels' bullpen is a fascinating area to watch as the season unfolds.
