The Los Angeles Angels shake up their bullpen by signing Drew Pomeranz and Jordan Romano, opting for two veteran arms over a single pricey closer. Can these additions offset the loss of Kenley Jansen and stabilize a notoriously volatile relief core? Jon and Mike Frisch, the Super Halo Bros., break down the strengths and question marks surrounding Pomeranz’s lefty resurgence and Romano’s recent struggles in Philadelphia, spotlighting what each brings to the late innings. Key topics include the Angels’ evolving bullpen depth, Perry Minasian’s budget-minded strategy, and the pivotal role of pitching coach Mike Maddux in maximizing unproven talent. The hosts debate closing responsibilities between Robert Stephenson, Ben Joyce, and Romano, and outline the team’s remaining needs at starting pitcher, third base, and center field. Will Anaheim’s low-risk roster moves keep them competitive, or are further reinforcements a must for the Halos’ playoff hopes?
