I’m going to be honest; I kind of forgot that Sal Fasano was even in the Braves organization, which is odd because I totally fell in love with him during Phillies Photo Day 2006 and was kind of excited to see him when he was dealt to the Yankees in the Abreu trade. According to the article, Sal was a non-roster invitee to the Blue Jays spring training and was granted his unconditional release from the team on March 25th. A few weeks later (April 4th aka my Bday) Fasano signed a minor league deal with the Braves. Since then, he’s been a member of the AAA-Richmond Braves where he was batting .193 with 2 homeruns and 9 RBIs.
The Indians are hoping to shore up the catcher situation, especially with Victor Martinez getting hurt, and see Fasano’s veteran experience as an upgrade from whoever else they have in their system.
The Braves will get a player to be named later. I didn't even get to enjoy the mustache or the famed free pizzas!
