Bill Hall can become a free agent on March 26, but he said Wednesday that he would consider staying with the Angels on a minor league deal.
Per the terms of Hall's minor league deal, the Angels are supposed to decide by March 26 whether to include him on their 25-man roster. That's not going to happen now that he's nursing a left calf strain, but he could still stick around in the organization.

It's unrelated to his previous quad injury, but it's obviously a significant setback. Hall signed a minor league contract with the Angels in late January. He now has no chance of earning an Opening Day roster spot.
