The Los Angeles Angels' signing of Robert Stephenson has sparked optimism about their offseason. The $19 million AAV expenditure on relievers and depth pitchers suggests further spending. Speculation arises about potential moves, including acquiring players like Cody Bellinger and Blake Snell. The team is reportedly seeking help in starting pitching, infield, and outfield positions.

Got sidetracked during a month of inactivity, but the Stephenson signing gives me renewed optimism about the #Angels offseason. It’d be highly irrational to spend ~$19M AAV on relievers/depth pitchers if you’re not gonna spend money elsewhere, so there’s got to be more to come.
