Kenley Jansen, a pivotal offseason signing for the Los Angeles Angels, might not last through the season as predictions indicate he could depart by the trade deadline. ESPN's Eric Karabell suggests that Jansen will save 31 games, splitting time between the Angels and Rangers, marking his first MLB trade. This scenario could dim the optimism surrounding the Angels' revamped bullpen, which saw excitement grow with Jansen's arrival.

Ben Joyce, a young reliever thriving with a 2.08 ERA, expressed enthusiasm about learning from Jansen, who boasts nearly 500 career saves. Jansen, coming off a solid season with a 3.29 ERA and 27 saves, is eager to mentor Joyce, indicating that their partnership could be instrumental for the Angels. However, the prospect of Jansen's mid-season exit looms large, potentially cutting this promising duo's impact short.
