Among the Angels' top priorities this off-season will be securing closer Francisco Rodriguez to a long-term contract, after the sides were unable to agree to terms on a multiyear deal last winter.

"We've agreed that we will sit down at the end of the season and have some serious conversations," agent Paul Kinzer said, referring to informal talks he has had with General Manager Bill Stoneman. "Frankie has definitely put up the numbers and done his job. He's put himself in a good position contract-wise."
