Carlos Ruiz Wants To Continue Playing
Seattle Mariners free-agent catcher Carlos Ruiz wants to continue playing in 2018, even though he'll turn 39 in January. He's remained in excellent shape and is currently working out in his home in Panama. Chooch is more of a defensive-minded backstop at the point in his career, and he hit just .216 with three homers and 11 RBI in 125 at-bats for the Mariners in 2017. If he keeps playing, he'll certainly be a backup, at best.
