Indians, Beau Taylor Agree To Minor League Deal

By Dylan A. Chase | December 8, 2019 at 10:22am CDT

The Indians and catcher Beau Taylor are in agreement on a minor league deal with a non-roster invite to spring training, according to a team announcement from Friday.

Taylor has spent the majority of his career in the Athletics’ organization, although a late-season designation saw him latch on with the Blue Jays for a spell last year. He’s received a scant 30 at-bat audition in the majors since the beginning of 2018 but is a .258/.355/.372 hitter with 41 home runs in over 2400 minor league at-bats.

For the tribe, this represents a reasonable depth signing at a position where extra bodies are always at a premium. The club already moved to acquire Sandy Leon this offseason as a complement to Roberto Perez, and now Taylor will presumably serve, along with Eric Hasse, as a high-minors insurance piece.

    Their first minor league signing so far. Odd change of strategy as the Indians usually have half a dozen or so by now.

    Tribe seems concerned about the catcher situation this offseason. I wonder if they are getting good trade offers for Perez…

      They might be concerned about his surgery, but they’re definitely not trading him,

      Of all the conclusions to draw from the Leon and Taylor signings, this is what you come up with?
