LOS ANGELES — Tyler Anderson is staying in the Southland, but it won’t be with the Dodgers.
Instead of accepting the Dodgers’ qualifying offer of one year and $19.65 million on Tuesday, the left-handed pitcher agreed to a three-year contract with the Angels worth $39 million, according to a person with knowledge of the situation who wasn’t authorized to speak publicly.
The news broke just before a 1 p.m. PST deadline Tuesday for Anderson to accept his qualifying offer from the Dodgers. The Dodgers will get draft compensation in return.
