The Angels have no interest in signing former closer Troy Percival, General Manager Bill Stoneman said Tuesday.
"With the strength of our pen ? we have as strong if not stronger a pen than when we did not ask him back ? I think that's probably out," Stoneman said. "To think we're looking for help for the bullpen, that's not where our priorities are at."
Percival, 37, the Angels' all-time leader in saves, has not pitched in the major leagues in 22 months, when he suffered what appeared to be a career-ending forearm injury. He announced his retirement in April and rejoined the Angels as a minor league coach, but in the meantime he started throwing again, without discomfort.
"I don't see any reason why, if I'm healthy, I shouldn't try to go get people out," he said.
