Brewers trade Maldonado to Angels for Bandy

The Los Angeles Angels have acquired catcher Martin Maldonado and minor-league pitcher Drew Gagnon from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for backstop Jett Bandy, the teams announced Tuesday.

Maldonado slashed .202/.332/.351 in 76 games with the Brewers last season. It's unclear if he's pegged to start ahead of Carlos Perez behind the plate in Los Angeles.

Bandy, meanwhile, is coming off his first full season in MLB after appearing in two games for the Angels in 2015. The 26-year-old recorded a .234/.281/.392 slash line across 70 games this past season.
