Are the Royals on the verge of making some moves?

The Atlanta Braves obtained infielder David Fletcher and catcher Max Stassi from the Los Angeles Angels on Friday for infielder Evan White and left-hander Tyler Thomas.

The Angels appear to have gotten under the CBT by course-correcting and successfully waiving five players at the end of August.

Still awaiting Shohei Ohtani’s decision, the Angels have agreed to terms with relievers Adam Cimber and Luis Garcia and made progress toward other moves, GM Perry Minasian says.

The Angels pitching staff was full of players who declined from 2022 to 2023, so Minasian is hoping that new pitching coaches Barry Enright and Steve Karsay can help them return to form in 2024.

The Angels final 2023 payroll was within $30,000 of the $233 million threshold for the luxury tax. As recently as last month general manager Perry Minasian said they were too close for him to know the results without MLB's final calcuation.
