The MLB's most active team in free agency so far hasn't been the New York Yankees or the Los Angeles Dodgers, but the L.A. area's other team, the Angels. General manager Perry Minasian has been actively adding pieces as the team seeks to snap its MLB-worst playoff drought, which dates back to 2014. The latest addition, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post: veteran left-handed starting pitcher Yukei Kikuchi.

Kikuchi heads to L.A. on a three-year, $63 million deal, Heyman reports. The one-time All-Star began the 2024 season with the Toronto Blue Jays before being dealt to the Houston Astros at the trade deadline.
