The Los Angeles Angels signed Mark Mulder because they were impressed with his retooled delivery.
Mulder is five years removed from his most recent Major League appearance.
The left-hander will earn $1 million if he makes the Angels and can earn about $5 million more in incentives, though he'd basically have to be in the rotation an entire year to maximize the contract.
"He's able to get extension and finish pitches, which he really wasn't able to do the last three or four years of his career," said Tim Huff, who's in his second year with the Angels after spending seven years each in the Rays' and Blue Jays' scouting departments.
"It's allowing him to do things with the baseball that he wasn't able to do previously."
