This season, 32-year-old Stassi did not play. After straining his left hip during spring training, the team announced on September 9 that he would miss the remainder of the season due to a significant medical situation in his family, even though he was able to resume baseball workouts.
He signed a $17.5 million, three-year contract with the Angels in March 2022, and he is owed a salary of $7 million for the upcoming season. A $500,000 buyout and a $7.5 million team option are included on his contract for 2025.
Stassi spent ten seasons with the Houston Astros (2013–19) and the Angels (2019–23), with 41 home runs, 128 RBIs, and a.212 lifetime average.
In exchange for infielder Evan White and left-hander Tyler Thomas on Friday, the Angels traded Stassi and infielder David Fletcher to Atlanta.
In the 2009 amateur draft, Oakland chose Stassi in the fourth round. In February 2013, he was dealt as part of a five-player deal to the Astros.
