Angels signed RHP Sam Ryan to a minor league contract.
The 26-year-old hurler was drafted by the Blue Jays in the 12th round of the 2019 draft and spent five seasons toiling in the minor leagues for them before spending the 2024 season pitching for the New England Knockouts in the independent Frontier League. There, he compiled a 5.13 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and a 93/32 K/BB ratio over 94 2/3 innings and apparently caught the attention of the Angels. He’ll add pitching depth for the Halos.
