The A’s seem to have a thing for ex-Rays catchers. Jaso, Vogt and now Gimenez…

this move makes zero sense considering we already have Jaso Vogt and Norris

Depth for AAA

He has experience at other positions as well. Good depth move. He can fill in in emergencies at a few spots and he’s local from gilroy California. So I’m sure him and his family are happy about it.

Prelude to another trade with the Nats

It has to be because Gimemez is out of options.

It’s probably because the Rays are about to acquire a player.

They may be but that’s not what happened with Chris.
“Gimenez said the Rays told him they hoped to sneak him through waivers with the potential of signing him back to a minor-league deal, but he was claimed. “It kind of caught me off-guard,” he said. “Not that I got moved, but to Oakland of all teams. .. It’s a pretty ideal situation.”

Depth in the minor league system much needed

Minor league depth i’m guessing

Not a bad depth/insurance move. But I hate that they had to DFA Pedro Figueroa to make room. Even after a down year, he’ll likely be claimed, considering how much left-handed relievers are in demand. So hopefully Fernando Abad will work out okay.

Jaso, Vogt, Norris, Donaldson, Gimenez. So 5 catchers is the new market inefficiency.

I think donaldsons catching days are over.

Pedro Figueroa will sign with the Pirates. The Pirates seem to like pitchers who walk as many as they strikeout.

Nice. In all honesty, I wouldn’t complain if the Bucs did grab him on a minor league deal. I don’t think you can ever have enough lefty bullpen candidates. Plus, Justin Wilson is a hot trade discussion commodity, and Tony Watson is no LOOGY.
