News: Matsui has officially signed a one-year deal with the Angels, Tyler Kepner of the NY Times reports.
Analysis: He'll slot into the DH role for the Angels as they've decided to move on from Vlad Guerrero. Matsui's power figures to slip a bit with the move out of Yankee Stadium, but he can still be a viable 15-20 homer threat with a good average and plenty of RBI in the middle of the Angels' lineup.

News: The Angels are close to signing Matsui to a one-year, $6.5 million contract, ESPN reports.
Analysis: If he signs with the Angels, that would likely indicate Vladimir Guerrero's tenure is over in Anaheim since the team likely won't want two DH's with limited ability to play in the outfield.
