Cubs trade LaStella to Angels
The Chicago Cubs Thursday traded infielder Tommy LaStella to the Los Angeles Angels for a player to be named or a cash consideration.
LaStella, 29, spent the last four seasons with the Cubs and batted .273 (139-for-509) with 34 doubles, nine homers and 63 RBI in 303 games.
LaStella departs as the club's all-time single-season pinch-hit leader with 24 hits in that role in 2018. LaStella was acquired by the Cubs from the Atlanta Braves for pitcher Arodys Vizcaino Nov. 16, 2014.
The Cubs' 40-man roster is at 39.
