It&#8217;s a low-risk move for Boston, who will look to help Noda rediscover the power stroke that originally endeared him to the A&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>The Angels couldn&#8217;t afford to be patient with Noda, given the needs of their major league roster. Their bullpen is in disarray; its 6.66 ERA through Wednesday ranks 30th in MLB.<\/p>\n<p>The Angels DFA&#8217;d Noda in order to make room for Hunter Strickland.
