Utilityman Brandon Drury and the Los Angeles Angels agreed on a two-year, $17 million contract, sources told ESPN on Tuesday, adding the Silver Slugger winner to a lineup that already acquired outfielder Hunter Renfroe and infielder Gio Urshela this winter.<\/p>\n
Drury, 30, won the award after a breakout 2022 in which he hit .263\/.320\/.492 with 28 home runs and 87 RBIs. Drury’s versatility is his hallmark, as he played all four infield positions and right field this year.<\/p>\n
After signing a minor league deal with Cincinnati in March, Drury made the Reds’ Opening Day roster and proceeded to hit 20 home runs in 92 games, turning himself from afterthought into a coveted deadline trade target. San Diego landed him for teenaged shortstop Victor Acosta, and while Drury’s numbers dipped with the Padres, he was still an above-league-average hitter.<\/p>\n
