Pirates Sign Ali Sanchez To One-Year Deal
The Pittsburgh Pirates signed free-agent catcher Ali Sanchez to an undisclosed one-year major-league deal on Friday. The team also claimed right-hander Roddery Munoz off waivers from the Washington Nationals. Sanchez made his big-league debut in 2020 with the New York Mets but hasn't appeared in the majors since 2021 with the St. Louis Cardinals. The 26-year-old Venezuelan backstop played in 67 games at Triple-A Reno with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2023 and looked good with a .311/.375/.492 slash line, an .866 OPS, career-high 11 home runs and 43 RBI in 267 plate appearances. Sanchez will most likely begin the 2024 season at Triple-A Indianapolis while providing catching depth behind Henry Davis, Endy Rodriguez and Jason Delay at the major-league level.
