White Sox Acquire Veteran Catcher Max Stassi from Braves

Stassi, who missed the 2023 season due to injury and family issues, is expected to bolster the White Sox's catching lineup in 2024.

Veteran catcher Max Stassi has been traded from the Atlanta Braves to the Chicago White Sox, with the Braves receiving a player to be named later or cash in return.
Stassi, 32, missed the entire 2023 season due to a left hip strain and a family medical issue.
Over his 10-year Major League career, Stassi has a .212 batting average with 41 home runs and 128 RBIs.
Stassi's defensive skills are notable, with a 38.1 framing rate from 2018-22, the second best by a catcher in MLB during that period.
Stassi joins Korey Lee and Carlos Pérez on the White Sox's catching depth chart, with Edgar Quero, the No. 3 White Sox prospect, targeted for Triple-A Charlotte to start the ’24 season.
