Avoids arbitration with Halos
PLos Angeles Angels
January 21, 2025
The Angels and Quijada avoided arbitration by agreeing to a $1.075 million contract Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
The deal also includes a $3.75 million club option for 2026. Quijada, 29, has missed much of the last two seasons while recovering from Tommy John surgery, but he returned in late July this past season and posted a 3.26 ERA and 24:17 K:BB over 19.1 innings. He could see some high-leverage relief work for the Angels in 2025.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Quijada tallied the Angels' first save after they traded Raisel Iglesias, but only finished with three on the season across his 42 appearances. Still, the southpaw emerged as the Halos' left-handed specialist last season, holding same-sided hitters to a mere .115 BA. Quijada struck out 52 batters in 40.2 innings, with his mid-90's fastball responsible for 96% of those strikeouts. That's what happens when you throw the pitch 85% of the time! Quijada boasts an impressive 31.6% strikeout rate for his career, but he'll need to improve his control - his career walk rate is 14.5% - to remain in the high-leverage picture. The Angels recent addition of Carlos Estevez clouds the competition for saves, but Quijada was unlikely to rack up many chances anyway. He's still worth projecting for a handful, which certainly plays in AL-only formats.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Worth monitoring
PLos Angeles Angels
April 18, 2023
Quijada has yet to allow a run through 6.0 innings, racking up two saves and four holds.
ANALYSIS
Quijada is still splitting reps with Carlos Esteves, who also has two saves, but Quijada is nonetheless catching attention. The 27-year-old logged a reliable 3.98 ERA last season and could continue being a subtle source of saves throughout the season.
