In 2003, Colon was again traded, this time to the Chicago White Sox, and the following year, he signed as a free agent with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. MLB.com: Bartolo ColonAngels Years
With the Angels, Colon won the Cy Young Award in 2005. He suffered a torn rotator cuff injury during the 2005 playoffs. The injury kept the hurler out of commission for most of the 2006 season and in 2007 he struggled all season and finished the year with a record of 6-8. In 2008, Colon signed a minor league contract with the Boston Red Sox.MLB.com: Bartolo Colon-
