Contract Value Index (CVI)
The Angels struck gold with Reid Detmers at just $2.6M AAV, earning an A- CVI that reflects exceptional value for an above-average starter in today's inflated pitching market. Detmers has shown legitimate swing-and-miss stuff when healthy, and at 25 years old, he's entering his prime years with plenty of upside remaining if he can stay on the mound consistently. This one-year prove-it deal is brilliant asset management by the Angels — they're getting a starter with mid-rotation upside at roughly half the cost of comparable arms in free agency, while maintaining flexibility if he breaks out or struggles. Given the Angels' competitive window with Mike Trout still productive and their need to maximize every dollar, locking up rotation depth at this price point addresses a critical need without hampering future payroll flexibility. The short-term nature also allows Detmers to rebuild his value after injury concerns, creating a win-win scenario where both sides can reassess based on 2024 performance. For a franchise that's historically overpaid for pitching, this represents smart, low-risk roster building that could yield significant returns if Detmers stays healthy and takes the next step forward.
Fan & Media Sentiment
Reid Detmers, a pitcher for the Angels, is seen as a quality everyday player and key contributor at 26 years old. With 5 MLB seasons under the belt, Reid has had time to establish a reputation around the league. At $2.6M per year, the contract sets a clear production threshold for positive perception. On-mound production has been rated as above-average, earning a B+ performance grade. Fans generally view Reid as a positive contributor to the Angels's pitching staff. With room to grow, sentiment could trend upward with continued development and a breakout campaign.
