The AP reports that Relief pitcher Cody Allen and the Los Angeles Angels have finalized a one-year contract for $8.5 million.
The Angels announced the signing Sunday.
Allen had a career-high 4.70 ERA for Cleveland last season, going 4-6 with 27 saves in 70 games. The 30-year-old righty is the Indians' franchise leader with 149 saves.
The Angels posted a total of 35 saves last year, ranking 12th in the American League. Blake Parker led the team with 14 saves, wasn't offered a contract after the season and signed with Minnesota.
Starters Matt Harvey and Trevor Cahill joined with the Angels earlier in the offseason.
Right-hander Miguel Almonte was designated for assignment. Almonte, 25, was 0-0 with a 10.29 ERA in eight games for the Angels last year.
