The Angels announced Tuesday that they’ve signed veteran catcher Travis d’Arnaud to a two-year deal. Jeff Passan of ESPN adds that the D’Arnaud’s deal is value $12M.
D’Arnaud, who turns 36 in February, was a 2022 All-Star choice who was the beginning catcher on the Atlanta Braves’ 2021 World Collection group. He additionally received a Silver Slugger Award in 2020 and hit .238 with with 15 dwelling runs and 48 RBIs in 99 video games for the Braves final season.
