Chris Iannetta gracefully handles toughest ending of his 10 big league seasons

Posted Oct 6, 2015
Veteran catcher Chris Iannetta stood in the corner of the largely abandoned Angels clubhouse and cleaned out his corner locker, knowing he may never return here again. This was the toughest ending of Iannetta’s 10 seasons in the majors. It concluded the final year of his three-year, $15.5 million deal, and one that ended with the former everyday catcher watching from the dugout. (Orange County Register)
