The Orioles announced that catcher Maverick Handley has been designated for assignment. That’s the corresponding move for their signing of first baseman Pete Alonso, which has now been made official.
More to come.

So, three days ago they had four catchers on the roster, now they have two – Rutschman & Basallo. I did think three catchers, while wise considering Rutschman’s 1.5-year struggle and Basallo’s inexperience, was a roster constraint that didn’t lend itself to flexibility. I guess they’re hoping Romo and/or Handley pass through waivers… lord knows Handley should, his bat did not come with him to the bigs.
Pretty hitterish in the minors.
Some team will probably snag him.
