We’ll use this post to keep track of today’s minor moves…
- The Rays have added catcher Adam Moore on a minors pact, tweets Jerry Crasnick of ESPN. The 33-year-old will receive an invitation to spring training camp. Moore hit .238/.313/.369 with a 31.4% strikeout rate across 277 plate appearances with the Columbus Clippers (the Indians’ Triple-A affiliate) in what ultimately ended up being his first season without MLB action since 2008. Since being drafted 171st overall by the Mariners in 2006, he’s played in the majors for them and three other clubs: the Royals, Padres and Indians. Moore owns a .197/.237/.303 lifetime slash line and has been worth just over a win below replacement for his career.
Why so many no name & washed up has been’s?
You must be new to baseball
So true
Every team needs a lot of catchers heading into spring training due to amount of pitchers in each game & just all the pitchers in every bullpen and just getting pitches in.
While most are in the twilight of their careers, I’m quite sure they look at it thru a different lens. Both the players and the clubs are always looking to catch “lightning in a bottle”. It’s called hope and without it, we are nothing.
