Drew Butera News
Veteran catcher Drew Butera has made the decision to retire from the MLB. He is now transitioning into the coaching portion of his career. He will be a member of the Los Angeles Angels' coaching staff. He will serve as the team's bullpen catcher. The 38-year-old spent 12 years in the majors, playing for five different teams. Over 553 career games, he slashed .196/.252/.290 with 19 home runs.
Texas Rangers catcher Drew Butera was traded to the Angels on Friday for cash considerations, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Between Max Stassi landing on the injured list with a concussion and the struggles of Kurt Suzuki, the Angels look to shore up a shaky situation at catcher with this acquisition. Butera has not appeared in a game yet this season, but in 2020 he finished the year slashing .154/.190/.205 with an 11:2 K:BB ratio in 28 games with Colorado. It's unlikely that Butera will have much value in fantasy this year.
