Angels Could Pursue Lance Lynn Or Alex Cobb; Albert Pujols To Work On Fitness & Nutrition During Offseason

Injuries have devastated the Angels' rotation for two consecutive seasons, but the club is projected to have more pitching depth next spring, when Richards, Skaggs, Heaney, Shoemaker, Nick Tropeano, Parker Bridwell and Ramirez are expected to be healthy. There are several question marks, however, as Richards, Skaggs and Heaney all endured lengthy stints on the disabled list in 2017, and Shoemaker and Tropeano will both be coming off surgery. Nolasco, who led the club in innings pitched this season, had his team option for 2018 declined and he is unlikely to return, leaving the Angels without much durability in their rotation. They could look to restore some by pursing a free-agent starter such as Lance Lynn or Alex Cobb this offseason.
