The Arizona Diamondbacks are likely going to lose Zac Gallen in free agency, but the righty hadn’t signed a deal with a new team as of Tuesday.<\/p>\n

At this point, Gallen is the top pitcher and player left on the market. He should be able to land himself a solid deal, though it’s hard to imagine him landing a long-term contract at this point.<\/p>\n

Bleacher Report’s Kerry Miller predicted Gallen would sign a deal with the Los Angeles Angels<\/a> in free agency over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

\"Arizona<\/p>\n

“For all of the ‘that would’ve been nice a year or two ago’ moves the Angels have made this winter, this one actually could be a fantastic reclamation project of sorts,” Miller wrote. “The Halos cleared nearly $40M in 2026 payroll when they restructured the final year of Anthony Rendon’s contract, but never actually did anything with all those savings. <\/p>\n

“We thought they might be the ones to land Framber Valdez, but now that he’s a Tiger, maybe they’ll make Gallen an offer he can’t refuse. At any rate, they definitely do need another arm or two.”<\/p>\n

The Angels need to add another top pitcher to their roster, and Gallen is the perfect fit.<\/p>\n

Gallen would slot in near the top of the Diamondbacks rotation, boosting their roster in a big way. This move might not make the Angels a World Series contender, but it would certainly push the team in the direction they want to go. If they can land him on a two or three-year deal, this idea makes a lot of sense.<\/p>\n
