Contract Value Index (CVI)
Chase Silseth's one-year, $0.8M deal with the Angels earns a solid B CVI, representing shrewd roster management for a team carefully navigating payroll constraints while trying to maximize Shohei Ohtani's remaining tenure. At just above league minimum, Silseth provides exceptional value as a solid starter-caliber reliever who can absorb meaningful innings without the multi-million dollar commitment that typically comes with proven bullpen arms. The Angels are betting on his ability to deliver 1-2 WAR performance at a fraction of the cost of free agent relievers, which makes perfect sense given their need to allocate resources elsewhere while maintaining competitive depth. This contract structure also preserves future flexibility — if Silseth takes a step forward, they have him at a bargain rate, and if he struggles, the financial exposure is minimal. For a franchise caught between competing now and building for the future, locking up a functional bullpen piece at this price point represents the kind of efficient spending that can help bridge the gap between their current roster and long-term sustainability.
Fan & Media Sentiment
Chase Silseth, a relief pitcher for the Angels, carries mixed-to-positive public sentiment based on their solid contributions. His B+ performance grade positions him as a solid contributor at the relief pitcher position. While he has yet to earn major individual awards, his contributions to the Angels keep him in the conversation. On a contract worth $780K/year, minimal financial investment means any production is viewed favorably. Fan opinion is divided, with some appreciating his potential while others point to inconsistencies that temper enthusiasm. At 25, he has significant runway for development, and the baseball community will be watching closely for continued growth.
