The Angels have agreed to minor-league deals with right-handers Jacob Barnes and Jake Thompson, with invitations for both to come to spring training.

Barnes, 29, has pitched in 182 big-league games over parts of four seasons, with a 4.25 ERA and 9.3 strikeouts per nine innings. He split last season with the Milwaukee Brewers and Kansas City Royals, combining for a 7.44 ERA in 32 2/3 innings. In 2018, he had a 3.33 ERA in 48 2/3 innings with the Brewers.

He’s averaged 6.3 strikeouts and 4.7 walks per nine innings. Thompson did not pitch in the majors in 2019, instead posting a 1.99 ERA in 31 2/3 innings at Class-A and Double-A. He started five times in seven games.

This winter, Thompson had a 3.60 ERA in 25 innings in the Dominican Winter League, with five starts in eight games.
