Pitcher Yusei Kikuchi and the Los Angeles Angels have agreed to a three-year contract worth $63 million, a source told the AP.

Left-hander Yusei Kikuchi and the Los Angeles Angels have agreed to a three-year contract worth $63 million, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity Monday because the deal, first reported by the New York Post, was subject to a successful medical review.

Kikuchi, 33, is paid $21 million annually over the course of his contract, increasing his Major League Baseball earnings to $142 million over nine seasons.

An All-Star for Seattle in 2021, Kikuchi was 9-10 with a 4.05 ERA in 32 starts this year for Toronto and Houston, which acquired him on July 30 in exchange for 23-year-old right-hander Jake Bloss, rookie outfielder Joey Loperfido . and minor league first baseman Will Wagner.

Kikuchi was 5-1 with a 2.70 ERA in 10 starts with the Astros, striking out 76 and walking 14 in 60 innings. His four-seam fastball averaged 95.5 mph this year, the highest of his major league career.

He’s 41-47 with a 4.57 ERA in six seasons with Seattle (2019-21), Toronto (2022-24) and Houston.

Kikuchi signed with the Mariners before the 2019 season when Seattle agreed to a contract that paid him $43 million over three years. The Mariners also paid a $10,275,000 listing fee to the Seibu Lions of the Pacific League. He signed with Toronto in March 2022, agreeing to a three-year contract worth $36 million.

The Angels have been the most aggressive team in baseball this offseason. Kikuchi joins a projected rotation that includes left-handers Tyler Anderson and Reed Detmers and right-handers Jose Soriano and Kyle Hendricks, who left the Chicago Cubs as a free agent and agreed to a one-year deal worth $2.5 million.

Right-hander Griffin Canning was traded to the Atlanta Braves for outfielder and designated hitter Jorge Soler on October 31. Los Angeles also agreed to a two-year, $12 million contract with catcher Travis d’Arnaud.

The Angels posted a franchise-worst 63-99 record, their ninth straight losing season and first since losing Shohei Ohtani to the Dodgers in free agency. They haven’t made the playoffs since 2014.
