ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- The Los Angeles Angels agreed to terms on a four-year contract with free agent pitcher Justin Speier, who will work out of the bullpen.

The deal is contingent on the right-hander passing a physical, the team said Sunday.

Speier spent last season with Toronto, where he had a 2-0 record with a 2.98 ERA in 58 games. He allowed 47 hits, walked 21 and struck out 55.

The 2-year deal with Hector Carrasco paid off for the first year. But a 4-year deal with Justin Speier??

good luck with that, Speier can't handle pressure, so beware

Yeah, but he's one of those beastly regular season relievers...I like it.

Angels continue to build good bullpens. I like the deal.
