2024 Fantasy Outlook
It's rare for a quality reliever like Moore to be released twice during the season, but he was a victim of circumstances with his employer opting to move on once their fleeting playoff aspirations vanquished. First, Moore was let go by the Angels in late August. The Guardians quickly signed Moore, but they also waived him with a couple of weeks left in the season. The Marlins claimed Moore, even though he wasn't eligible for the postseason roster. In total, Moore logged 52.2 innings, his lowest output since 2019 as he missed a month with the Angels for an oblique issue. The southpaw was typically effective, posting a 2.56 ERA, with 60 strikeouts in 52.2 innings, collecting a career-high 22 holds. Oddly, Moore exhibits reverse splits, so he's more than a matchup lefty. The Marlins designated Moore, but he should continue to find work as a high-leverage reliever. Read Past Outlooks
Back with Halos
Moore signed a one-year, $9 million contract with the Angels on Tuesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Moore spent time with the Angels last season, logging a 2.66 ERA and 1.02 WHIP alongside a 49:12 K:BB across 44 innings before being waived in late August. After brief stints with the Guardians and Marlins to close the season, Moore will return to Anaheim to give the Angels a reliever capable of handling high-leverage situations.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Drawing interest from Red Sox
Moore is drawing free-agent interest from the Red Sox, according to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com.
ANALYSIS
The rumor winds have been surprisingly quiet on Moore this winter after he posted a tremendous 1.95 ERA with 84 strikeouts across 74 innings of relief last season for the Rangers. The 33-year-old southpaw presumably carries a relatively sky-high asking price, otherwise he would have been signed by now. Boston currently projects to have only one left-hander in its Opening Day bullpen, so Moore would be a nice fit there.

Moore's days as a starting pitcher may be over after a career year pitching exclusively out of the bullpen. The southpaw stayed healthy all year, logging 74 innings (7th-most among relievers) with a career-best 1.18 WHIP, five saves and 14 holds across 63 appearances. He quelled the home run issue he had as a starter, giving up just three homers all season for a 0.36 HR/9 rate that was 17th-best among relievers. Shifting to the pen also allowed Moore to add a tick-and-a-half of velocity, which significantly improved both his strikeout rate and swinging strike percentage. All three of his pitchers - fastball, curve and changeup - were effective in striking batters out, with the latter producing a 45.7% whiff rate. Moore has not yet signed with a team for 2023, but figures to remain in the bullpen wherever he goes. He's slightly risky from a health perspective, but there's still upside in this mid-30's arm. Saves may be a possibility depending on Moore's landing spot.
