Angels Trade for Catcher Chuckie Robinson from White Sox

Los Angeles acquires Robinson for cash considerations and designates pitcher Davis Daniel for assignment.

The Los Angeles Angels have acquired catcher Chuckie Robinson from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for cash considerations.
Robinson, who recently turned 30, played 26 games last season with a batting average of .129 but excelled defensively, ranking third in the American League by throwing out 21.4% of attempted base stealers.
The Angels designated right-handed pitcher Davis Daniel for assignment to make room for Robinson on their 40-man roster.
Daniel, 27, struggled last season with a 1-4 record and a 6.23 ERA across six starts for the Angels.
Robinson is expected to provide depth as the Angels' third catcher, behind Logan O'Hoppe and Travis d'Arnaud.
