The Angels have acquired outfielder Dexter Fowler and cash considerations in a trade with the Cardinals, the team announced Thursday night.
The deal reunites Fowler with Joe Maddon, who managed Fowler with the Cubs in 2015 and 2016. Fowler is in the last season of a five-year, $82.5 million deal he signed with St. Louis prior to the 2017 season.
The Cardinals will pay $12.75 million of Fowler's $14.5 million salary for 2021, according to the AP's Greg Beacham.
Fowler, who turns 35 in March, has hit .237/.341/.406 in 181 games for the Cardinals over the past two seasons, with 23 home runs, 82 RBIs and nine stolen bases.
