Angels acquire Hanson from Braves for Walden
Tommy Hanson - S - Los Angeles Angels
Nov. 30, 2012 - 2:30 PM ET

Angels acquired RHP Tommy Hanson from the Braves in exchange for RHP Jordan Walden.

The trade is now official. Hanson looked like a potential top-of-the-rotation starter not long ago, but he's dealt with shoulder issues over the last year and has seen his velocity decline steadily. The right-hander posted a 4.48 ERA and 1.45 WHIP this past season for the Braves. The Angels are still in the market for another starter, with Zack Greinke obviously at the top of that list.
