Offseason and spring training

In the first trade of the MLB offseason on November 3, 2016, the Angels acquired Cameron Maybin for Minor League pitcher Victor Alcantara.[1] Jesse Chavez signed with the team on November 12.[2] On December 10, the Angels traded Minor League pitchers Austin Adams and Kyle McGowin to the Washington Nationals for infielder Danny Espinosa.[3] The Milwaukee Brewers sent catcher Martin Maldonado to the Angels for Jett Bandy on December 13.[4] The Angels then signed Ben Revere, an outfielder, on December 23.[5] The Angels' first signing of 2017 was infielder Luis Valbuena, formerly of the Houston Astros, who signed a 2-year, $15 million deal on January 24.[6] On February 4, first baseman Dustin Ackley was signed to a minor league contract with an offer to attend Spring Training.[7] Pitcher Yusmeiro Petit also inked a minor league deal with a Spring Training invitation days later; he went on to make the Opening Day roster.[8]

The Angels ended spring training with a 21–14 win–loss record, excluding a tie game that did not count toward the standings. Their .600 winning percentage was the best in the Cactus League.[9]

gollark: It's weird that concepts as basic to us as the place value numeral thing didn't exist back in Roman times.
gollark: Wow, what a "useful" feature of Roman numerals?!
