love this.  especially at that price.

[Redondo]

We got our catcher and it's a good deal.

[Bronson]

I can 100% get behind a catching duo of Stassi and Suzuki. 

[Erstad Grit]

Nice insurance for Stassi to heal up and in case he was somehow flukey good. 

[mmc]

Glad this means all of our trade chips are available for starting pitching

[Bronson]

I like this move cheap keep prospects. Look for catcher again next year. Kluber next?

[angelsnationtalk]

Good price. Likely done with going for Contreras/Realmuto. 

Angels now can solely focus on pitching. whoop whoop.

Damn! I didn't realize how good Suzuki was in 2019!

Finally

How many years have we wished he was on our team?  Ive wanted him since OAK

[Warfarin]

Like this move.  Not that exciting, but very low cost for a very serviceable backup catcher.  Still lots of money left to be used towards SP, as well as all of our prospects.

Maga.

This board will get a constant boner (with the help of their blue ED pills)

[CanadianHalo]

Isn’t he a terrible pitch framer?

I think he’ll probably be our main catcher unless Stassi picks right back up where he left off.

Good signing. I'm looking forward to fans turning on him after he goes 1-for-11 over a 3-game stretch.

Cheap backup signing.  Let's be real here, he's a 37 year old catcher.  Not expecting more than 2 games a week out of him.

[GoodTimesGoneBad]

Happy with this signing. It shows that the Angels aren’t messing around with Realmuto and they are focused on pitching. Hopefully the activity around the league today continues! 

[m0nkey]

Great job, Perry!

He'll easily play 75-80 games
