The hot stove is starting to simmer.
Tyler Anderson, a starting pitcher with the Dodgers this past season, has signed with the Angels, The Post’s Joel Sherman confirmed. The deal is for three years and $40 million.
Anderson, who turns 33 in December, went 15-5 with a 2.57 ERA in 2022. He had 138 strikeouts in 178.2 innings with a 1.002 WHIP.
This was a dramatic turnaround from his career numbers, which improved to a record of 44-43 with a 4.16 ERA and a 1.245 WHIP. Anderson also made his first All-Star team this year.
Before joining the Dodgers, Anderson pitched four seasons with the Rockies, a year with the Giants and split the 2021 season between the Pirates and Mariners.
The Angels are at an interesting crossroad. They have dynamo Shohei Ohtani signed for one more season and have vowed not to trade him in the offseason.
The Angels went 73-89 last season and finished 33 games behind the first-place Astros in the AL West. The team fired Joe Maddon midseason. Maddon was replaced by Phil Nevin, who will return as Angels skipper in 2023.
