The last couple of seasons the LA Angels have been trying to find a replacement for Maldonado, but without much luck. Jose Briceno, Dustin Garneau, Jonathan Lucroy, Anthony Bemboom, Max Stassi, and Francisco Arcia.
There is a lack of free agent options since Yasmani Grandal was snatched up by the Chicago White Sox. The Angels may have to make a trade in order to really upgrade at the catching position. They could also go back to Martin Maldonado and this would be a good signing and probably at a fairly cheap cost.
