ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Angels have acquired veteran shortstop Jose Iglesias from the Baltimore Orioles in a trade for minor league right-handers Garrett Stallings and Jean Pinto.
The clubs announced the deal Wednesday.
Iglesias batted .373 with three homers and 24 RBIs in 39 games with the Orioles last season. He struggled with injuries, but posted the highest average in the majors among players with at least 100 plate appearances.
Baltimore exercised its $3.5 million option on Iglesias for 2021 last month. He is joining his fifth big league club after nine seasons spent with Boston, Detroit -- where he made the All-Star team in 2015 -- Cincinnati and Baltimore.
