Astros Acquire Martin Maldonado
6 years agoThe Houston Astros have acquired catcher Martin Maldonado from the Angels on Thursday for catching depth. The Angels will receive an unnamed prospect in the deal. Maldonado was hitting just .223 with five home runs and 32 RBI in 265 at-bats with the Halos this year, and he'll likely split time behind the dish with Max Stassi until Brian McCann returns from injury. Jose Briceno will now see the lion's share of starts at catcher for the Angels.
