Once the Los Angeles Angels started spring training, it seemed clear that the Angels weren't going to make an addition to their starting rotation. The Angels may have been falsely holding out hope that one of Framber Valdez or Zac Gallen would fall into their lap, but that was never a realistic ending to the offseason. Instead, Los Angeles' rotation will be headlined by Yusei Kikuchi and Jose Soriano, and they may have just tipped their hand with their Opening Day starter decision.
The Angels announced that Jose Soriano will get the nod in the team's Cactus League opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday.
