ANGELS ADD RELIEVER JOSE VALDEZ

The Los Angeles Angels acquired pitcher Jose Valdez from the Detroit Tigers for cash.

What does it give the Los Angeles Angels
The Angels have been decimated by injuries to their pitching staff so far this season, so it makes some sense to add reliever Valdez at this time. He'll provide bullpen depth and should find his way to Los Angeles at some point in 2016.

What does it give the Detroit Tigers
The Tigers had recently designated Valdez for assignment in order to add veteran reliever Bobby Parnell to the bullpen, so at least Detroit did well to get back some cash for Valdez's services. Incidentally, Parnell has struggled so far in Motown.

Fantasy impact
Valdez doesn't have much in the way of fantasy value since he was mainly added for depth purposes.
