by Steve Painter | Tue, Dec 23rd 8:19pm EST
Grilli will get a 2-yr deal with a club option for a third. He got better down the stretch for the Halos, ending the year with a 4.00 ERA with 57 strikeouts over 54 innings for the year. After being traded by the Pirates to the Angels. he had a 2.12 ERA, 29 Ks and 7 BBs in his first 34 games in Anaheim. (Ken Rosenthal on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
He will be a setup guy for closer Craig Kimbrel. Grilli essentially replaces Jordan Walden, who went over to the Cards with Jason Heyward in a previous trade. His fantasy value will be limited to those leagues where holds are valued.
