The White Sox have acquired catcher Max Stassi from the Braves in a trade. The Braves received Stassi and utility INF David Fletcher from the Angels in a previous trade. The deal also involved 1B Evan White, reliever Tyler Thomas, and a significant amount of money owed to White. The White Sox added Stassi in a separate trade, with the Braves covering part of the $7.5M owed to Stassi. BaseballValues model suggests the Braves' trade was a moderate overpay. The Dodgers' acquisition of Shohei Ohtani was juxtaposed with the White Sox's trade for Stassi.

Today the #Braves acquired C Max Stassi (-$4.8M surplus trade value) and IF David Fletcher (-$14.0M) from the #Angels in exchange for 1B Evan White (-$13.6M) and LHP Tyler Thomas (not yet in system). The deal is tentatively accepted by our model as a moderate overpay by ATL.
#Braves get C Max Stassi and utility INF David Fletcher from Angels, move 1B Evan White and reliever Tyler Thomas, and importantly, the $17M that White was owed over the next two seasons, including a $2M buyout of a 2026 option. Did it w/out sending any cash to Angels in deal.
