ANGELS ADD LEFTY DILLON PETERS
The Los Angeles Angels acquired pitcher Dillon Peters from the Miami Marlins for pitcher Tyler Stevens.
What does it give the Los Angeles Angels
The Angels are in need of more help in their rotation, so the hope here is that the diminutive Peters can provide some organizational depth in 2019. The 26-year-old left-hander has 13 MLB starts under his belt. He may turn his fortunes around with the Halos.
What does it give the Miami Marlins
Peters struggled (27.2 IP, 7.16 ERA) with the Marlins last season, so he was recently designated for assignment. Stevens is a 22-year-old reliever who struggled at Triple-A Salt Lake in 2018. He likely needs another year of minor-league seasoning.
Fantasy impact
Peters will likely enter 2019 as a fantasy dark horse (though he is not a lock to begin the campaign in the big leagues with the Angels). Stevens is off the fantasy radar until he reaches MLB and cements a role in Miami's bullpen.
