What will we do without the Blash Smash? (or, the story of how our best player was released for Tommy La Stella)

The #Angels have acquired INF Tommy La Stella from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for cash considerations or a player to be named later.

The club has requested unconditional release waivers on OF Jabari Blash for the purpose of granting him his unconditional release— Angels PR (@LAAngelsPR) November 29, 2018

La Stella plays all over the infield, from second to third to first, and he boasts a career slash line of .264/.345/.366/.711. He is probably most famous for complaining about his demotion to AAA from the Cubs major league team in 2016.
