Angels Give Max Stassi $3 Million In 2022
3 years agoLos Angeles Angels catcher Max Stassi avoided salary arbitration on Tuesday by agreeing to a one-year, $3 million deal. In his second full season with the Halos last year, Stassi slashed .241/.326/.426 with a career-high 13 home runs, 35 RBI and 45 runs scored in 319 plate appearances over 87 games played. The power is nice from the weakest position in fantasy baseball, but Stassi's 31.7% strikeout rate is concerning. He will also split time behind the dish with veteran Kirk Suzuki, limiting his fantasy upside as a low-end No. 2 backstop. The 31-year-old is a career .225/.307/.384 hitter with a .691 OPS, 32 homers and 98 RBI over 301 games in nine major league seasons.
