"Los Angeles initially signed Brogdon to a minor league contract over the offseason. He had an ERA approaching 13.00 in Triple-A when the Angels nevertheless called him up in early May. Brogdon held an MLB bullpen spot for the next three months. He allowed 5.30 earned runs per nine over 37 1/3 innings. His strikeout, walk and home run rates were each on the wrong side of league average."
"Brogdon looked like a potential leverage piece for the Phillies early in his career. He combined for a 3.36 ERA with solid strikeout and walk numbers in more than 100 innings between 2021-22. His numbers have tanked in the past few years (though he did collect a World Series ring last year after pitching one inning for the Dodgers in April). Brogdon still has a mid-90s fastball, and the Angels clearly still like him as a depth option."
Connor Brogdon re-signed with the Angels on a minor league deal and will report to Triple-A Salt Lake. He elected free agency after being designated for assignment. Los Angeles had originally signed him to a minor league contract over the offseason. Brogdon had an ERA approaching 13.00 in Triple-A before a May promotion and held an MLB bullpen spot for three months, allowing 5.30 earned runs per nine over 37 1/3 innings with subpar strikeout, walk and home run rates. He posted a 3.36 ERA across 2021–22 in over 100 innings but has declined since. Brogdon still throws a mid-90s fastball and will provide non-roster bullpen depth.
