As if we didn't have enough good catchers on our team already with dudes like Jose Trevino and Kyle Higashioka, the Yankees went after another one. This one however is for a minor league deal. Who cares. When it comes to stockpiling arms and backstops, I am always fine with it. When it comes to this Yankee team, many of our backup and minor league catchers are all hurt right now. Austin Wells, Ben Rortvedt and Josh Breaux. So this just makes sense.
"The Yankees have signed catcher Nick Ciuffo to a minor league deal, according to his transactions tracker ...
Since the start of 2018, he’s appeared in 167 minor league games with a batting line of .247/.299/.381, walking in just 6.8% of his plate appearances while striking out at a 28.8% rate. He’s also appeared in 21 major league games over that time, hitting .188/.259/.292 for the Rays and Orioles. Ciuffo spent last year in Triple-A with the White Sox but was punched out in 31.1% of his trips to the plate."
Bring it Nick! Bring it.
35% off everything right now!
