The Angels couldn't acquire left-hander Brian Fuentes when they needed a setup man. But they did land him when they needed a new closer. Fuentes was a target at the trade deadline in July when the Angels were looking to strengthen their bullpen for the stretch run. They could not work out a deal with the Rockies that would have added Fuentes as a setup option leading to closer Francisco Rodriguez. But with Rodriguez gone via free agency, the Angels targeted Fuentes again.
