Right before the July 31 Trade Deadline, the Los Angeles Angels acquired a catcher:
The Angels have indeed traded for Astros catcher Max Stassi, a source confirmed. @Joelsherman1 and @Feinsand were on it.

He doesn’t have any options:
Max Stassi has no options. Another roster move to come.

Stassi, 28, is a career .218/.298/.354 hitter. A fourth-round selection by Oakland in 2009, Stassi has played his entire big league career with the Astros. He is a solid defender.
28-year old catcher, been around for a while with 2.6 fWAR and +19 Def last year, +6.1 Def this year. Let's see the cost. https://t.co/AMQHF8jgDW

Here’s the return!
#Angels sending Rainier Rivas and Raider Uceta to the Astros. Both are 18 year old OFs not in the Angels top 30 prospects.
