Quick Hits: Wright, Oviedo, Broxton, Catchers

By Mike Axisa | May 24, 2012 at 10:54pm CDT

Here's the latest from around the league as Thursday turns into Friday…

  • "We're all hopeful that long-term, [David Wright] will be here," said Mets GM Sandy Alderson during tonight's game broadcast according to MLB.com's Anthony DiComo (on Twitter). "I don't see any great impediment to that occurring."
  • Juan Carlos Oviedo confirmed to Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes that he has not yet received his visa but he is in the process of doing so. Earlier this week we heard that the pitcher formerly known as Leo Nunez had received his visa and was on his way back to the United States and the Marlins.
  • Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com says Jonathan Broxton could be either a trade candidate or an extension candidate for the Royals. The closer will be a free agent after the season, but Knobler compares him to Jeff Francoeur, who signed a one-year deal with Kansas City last season before agreeing to a two-year extension.
  • Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports.com wrote about offensive catchers, which he says are a dying breed. Joe Mauer, Brian McCann, Mike Napoli, and Miguel Montero all have sub-.815 OPSes this season.

    So, just to get it straight… the Royals are going to do something with Broxton.

       LOL.  Also, it might rain today.  Or it might not.

    I hope the pitcher formerly known as Leo Nunez changes his name into a symbol.
