Angels add more power with Josh Hamilton

The five-year, $125-million deal for the former MVP catches many in baseball by surprise, but especially the Rangers.

They introduce four pitchers, none of whom is Zack Greinke, that should help the depth of the staff.

Angels strike deals with two pitchers, but not Zack Greinke

Club agrees to terms with starter Joe Blanton for two years and $15 million, and reliever Sean Burnett for two years and $8 million. But signing Greinke, who could command a $150-million contract, doesn't appear likely.

Nationals get Dan Haren for one year at $13 million

He began announcing for the Kings in 1989 and the Angels in 1994.

Angels could find value in building from back of pitching staff

Angels gain depth by adding potential closer Ryan Madson, GM Jerry Dipoto says. It may free team to pursue a top reliever, such as Kyuji Fujikawa, instead of a high-end starter, such as Zack Greinke.

Angels finalize $3.5-million, one-year deal with Ryan Madson

Club is counting on the right-hander, who is coming off elbow ligament-replacement surgery, to be the closer. He saved 32 games for Philadelphia in 2011.
