The Atlanta Braves landed infielder David Fletcher and catcher Max Stassi on Friday in exchange for infielder Evan White and minor league left-handed pitcher Tyler Thomas.
Fletcher, 29, had spent his entire major league career with the Angels since debuting in 2018. Stassi, 32, was with Los Angeles since a trade in 2019 but missed the 2023 season due to an injury and a family member's medical issue.
Fletcher played in a career-low 33 games in 2023, batting .247 with two home runs and 12 RBIs. He is a career .277 hitter and batted .319 in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, when he received American League MVP votes.
