The Angels are taking a chance on a former All-Star starter and AL Cy Young candidate.<\/p>\n

Former Blue Jays standout Alek Manoah has agreed to a one-year deal<\/a> with the Halos, according to ESPN\u2019s Jeff Passan. It\u2019s a major league for Manoah, who has been working his way through the minors over the last two years. The contract is worth $1.95 million.<\/p>\n

Manoah, 27, played for Toronto from 2021 to \u201824, rising to prominence and even earning Cy Young votes in 2022. He had a 2.24 ERA across 31 starts that season, but struggled in \u201823 and dealt with injuries in \u201824. <\/p>\n

He was sent to the minors to get right, but couldn\u2019t figure things out. He was eventually waived in September of 2025<\/a>. The Braves picked him up and sent him to the minors, but he was released by Atlanta shortly after. <\/p>\n

Now, he\u2019ll get an opportunity to return to the big leagues with the Angels, who are looking to improve their pitching after logging the third-worst ERA in MLB last season. Manoah will have an opportunity to log consistent starts as he aims to revive his career. He\u2019ll join a rotation that projects to include Grayson Rodriguez, Jose Soriano, Reid Detmers and Yusei Kikuchi. <\/p>\n
