“Four more years,” the Angels closer said after Sunday’s season-ending 6-2 loss to the Houston Astros.
He converted each of his last 14 save opportunities and did not allow a hit in 10 innings over his last 10 appearances.
He’s kind of in that class.”Rivera, the former New York Yankees closer, racked up a major league-record 652 saves in his Hall-of-Fame career.
The second and third pitchers on that list — Trevor Hoffman (601 saves) and Lee Smith (478) — are also in the Hall of Fame.
Jansen, who played his first 12 seasons with the Dodgers, has 476 career saves, two shy of Smith.
