Here’s the latest I can confirm about Kenley Jansen’s contract status:
- As of early 2025, reports indicated Kenley Jansen agreed to a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Angels for $10 million, aiming to shore up their closer role after a solid 2024 season with the Red Sox. This move was reported by multiple outlets and referenced by insider sources at the time. [source: Bleacher Report article dated Feb 2025; related coverage in 2024–25 season context]
- Earlier contracts in his career include his 2022-2023 tenure with the Boston Red Sox on a two-year, $32 million deal, and prior stints with the Dodgers, Braves, and Red Sox. These references establish the pattern of one-year or short-term closers late in his career, but they don’t replace the 2025 Angels deal.
