Angels Longtime Shortstop Signs With Atlanta Braves.
The Anaheim to Atlanta pipeline is real.
Alongside David Fletcher and Max Stassi being dealt to the ATL, longtime shortstop Andrew Velazquez signed with the Braves on a minor-league contract. The move was made earlier this offseason.
Velazquez, also known by his nickname “Squid,” has been solid in the field throughout his six MLB seasons, but has batted a mere .189 to go along with 12 home runs and 40 RBI.
Velazque has been with the Angels for the last two years, but played with the Tampa Bay Rays, Baltimore Orioles, New York Yankees and Cleveland since 2018.
Over the last two seasons with the Angels, Velazquez hit just .191 with 11 home runs and 31 runs batted in.
