LA Angels reliever Ty Buttrey was drafted in the fourth round by the Boston Red Sox in 2012. He spent six years in the minors for Boston hoping for a chance to show what he could do. When the Angels traded for Buttrey, the 6’6 right-hander was overjoyed knowing that he was going to the Angels and hopefully finally make it to the majors.
“I was very excited when I heard i got traded. I felt like it was a chance for me to get a fresh start. It was a new opportunity and chance to put myself in a good position to be called up,” said Buttrey in a late September interview.
