Fletcher, 29, had spent his entire major league
career with the Angels since debuting in 2018. Stassi, 32, was
with Los Angeles since a trade in 2019 but missed the 2023
season due to an injury and a family member's medical issue.
Fletcher played in a career-low 33 games in 2023, batting .247
with two home runs and 12 RBIs. He is a career .277 hitter and
batted .319 in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, when he
received American League MVP votes.
He has 98 doubles and 16 homers over his 534 career games.
Stassi suffered a hip strain during spring training in 2023 and
eventually landed on the 60-day injured list. In September he
announced he would not return this season while attending to a
medical issue in his family.
In 403 career games over 10 seasons with the Houston Astros
(2013-19) and Angels, Stassi has batted .212 with 41 home runs,
42 doubles and 128 RBIs.
White, 27, played in 84 games at first base for the Seattle
Mariners in 2020 and 2021. The Braves picked him up in a trade
last week that centered on outfielder Jarred Kelenic going from
Seattle to Atlanta.
Thomas, 27, was in the New York Mets' system last season and
Atlanta selected him during the Rule 5 Draft on Wednesday. He
had a 2.86 ERA with 41 strikeouts across 24 games between
Double-A and Triple-A in 2023.
