Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting up to early 2025:
- Kenley Jansen signed a one-year, $10 million contract with the Los Angeles Angels in February 2025, with the expectation he’d serve as the closer for the Angels that season [sources note the deal and role expectations]. This would mark another chapter in his long MLB closer career, following seasons with the Red Sox and Dodgers [sources note career context]. The deal was reported by multiple outlets and included confirmation of a spring training-ready status after a shoulder inflammation issue the prior year [sources note health update].
Notes:
- If you’re seeking updates beyond February 2025 (e.g., 2026 spring training status, any extensions, or trades), I can look for the most current reports and summarize them with sources.
- You’re in Fortaleza, Brazil; if you’d like, I can tailor a quick update list or a short briefing in Portuguese and include where to watch or read the latest coverage.
Would you like me to pull the most recent articles for 2026 developments and provide a brief, citation-backed summary?
