The Angels have yet to announce the transaction, which is pending a physical.

Cahill, 30, was 7-4 last season with a 3.76 ERA in 21 appearances. He started 20 games for the Oakland Athletics during his 2018 campaign. The 10-year veteran signed with the Athletics last offseason in free agency. He posted a 4.93 ERA and a 4-3 record in 21 games for the San Diego Padres and Kansas City Royals in 2017.

The 2010 All-Star began his career with the Athletics, before joining the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2012. He has also played for the Atlanta Braves and Chicago Cubs.

Cahill owns a career 4.08 ERA and an 80-83 record in 304 career appearances.
