Brandon Drury has agreed to a two-year, $17 million contract with the Los Angeles Angels, sources familiar with the matter confirmed on Tuesday. The reigning Silver Slugger winner joins outfielder Hunter Renfroe and infielder Gio Urshela, both of whom were recently acquired by the Angels this winter.
2022 proved to be a breakout season for Drury, with the 30-year-old player hitting .263/.320/.492 with 28 home runs and 87 RBIs en route to his Silver Slugger victory.
Prior to his tenure with the Cincinnati Reds in 2020, Drury bounced around between a multitude of teams. He was drafted during the 13th round of the 2015 MLB Draft by the Atlanta Diamondbacks, where he played for two years before making his way to the New York Yankees. He later had stints at the Toronto Blue Jays, New York Mets, Cincinnati Reds, and the San Diego Padres.
Prior to the 2022 season, Drury recorded 51 home runs in 1,589 appearances throughout his career.
