Petit has signed a minor league contract with the Angels that includes an invitation to spring training, Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com reports.
Petit scattered 20 appearances with the Yankees across the 2015 campaign, putting together a tepid .167/.217/.238 in 42 at-bats. Other than a three-game rehab stint with High-A Tampa, he spent the majority of the season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and could land in similar climes in the Angels' organization in 2016. However, the 31-year-old will be given a chance to land a utility spot with the big club.
