Raisel Iglesias

The Reds traded RP Raisel Iglesias to the Angels in exchange for Noe Ramirez and a player to be named later.

Fantasy Impact

That's quite an uninspiring return for a valuable reliever. Iglesias is owed $9.125 million in the final year of his contract in 2021, so this is clearly a salary dump by Cincinnati. The 30-year-old Iglesias posted a 2.74 ERA with eight saves during the shortened 2020 campaign. He'll likely open the 2021 season as the Angels' primary closer, which makes him a top-12 reliever in fantasy drafts as of now.

Raisel Iglesias (4-3) allowed one run (zero earned) on one hit and no walks while striking out three over one 1/3 innings in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Twins. He picked up his fourth win of the season.

He ended the regular season on fire, striking out 12 over his last eight scoreless 2/3 innings. The Reds traded for Archie Bradley during the MLB trade deadline, but the team continued to use Iglesias in closing situations. He finishes 2020 with a (4-3) record along with a 2.74 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 31:5 K:BB over 23 innings.
