The Los Angeles Angels have been active in the offseason, making significant moves to bolster their bullpen. They signed Robert Stephenson and LHP Matt Moore, indicating a focus on strengthening their pitching staff. The Angels' direction is unclear, with some questioning whether they should be rebuilding or aiming to win now. Additionally, the St. Louis Cardinals and Tommy Edman reached a two-year, $16.5 million deal, avoiding arbitration. Edman's contract is set to lead him to free agency at its conclusion.
The Angels have pretty much only added to their bullpen this offseason — as Perry Minasian joked today. Now, they actually have a pretty good bullpen. On paper at least. It was a huge weakness last season.

And also updated the FA Matrix with Matt Moore back to the Angels. I am trying not to drink the Flavor Aid again but I DO theoretically like what they've added to the bullpen: https://t.co/qoS3snmyYi

"Are you trying to win now?" @FlavaFraz21 isn't sure of the direction the @Angels are going after signing Robert Stephenson over the weekend 🤔 ▶️ https://t.co/Y1fYXmoE8S https://t.co/6tkxJP2Wpk
After signing Robert Stephenson, the #Angels clearly aren't rebuilding yet. But should they? @johnbitzer2 makes the case, and looks at a few attractive trade chips should they shift gears in the coming months: https://t.co/qfb7abxqCD
