Geovany Soto signs one-year deal with Los Angeles Angels

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Free-agent catcher Geovany Soto and the Los Angeles Angels have agreed to a one-year contract.

The team announced the move Tuesday night, one day after losing catcher Chris Iannetta to the Seattle Mariners in free agency.

Soto has played for four teams in 11 major league seasons. The former Chicago Cubs backstop spent last season on the other side of town with the White Sox, batting .219 with nine homers and 21 RBIs in 78 games.
