Chris Owings News
Free-agent infielder Chris Owings has signed a minor-league deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers and has received an invite to MLB spring training. The 32-year-old has spent minimal time in the big leagues over the last several seasons, appearing in just 76 games from 2020-2023. The light-hitting middle infielder has been far better with his glove than his bat throughout his big-league career. Owings is a .239 career hitter with 37 home runs, 79 stolen bases, and a .650 OPS across 723 games between the D-backs, Royals, Red Sox, Rockies, Orioles, and Pirates. That production has graded out 32% below the league average, as per Owings' career 68 wRC+. He will likely serve as depth in major league camp and will be hard-pressed to get any reps on a loaded Dodgers team in the 2024 season.
The Pittsburgh Pirates signed free-agent infielder Chris Owings to a minor-league deal on Thursday that includes an invitation to major-league spring training. Owings, a veteran of 10 major-league seasons, spent the 2022 season with the Baltimore Orioles but hit just .107/.254/.143 with no homers, six runs scored and a stolen base in 26 games played. He didn't fare a whole lot better in the minors for the New York Yankees or in an independent league after he was released by Baltimore. Owings hasn't played over 100 games in a single major-league season since 2018 with the Arizona Diamondbacks, and he'll strictly serve as veteran infield depth with the rebuilding Pirates.
The Baltimore Orioles designated infielder Chris Owings for assignment on Wednesday. In a corresponding move, the team activated right-handed pitcher Austin Voth, who was claimed off waivers from the Washington Nationals on Tuesday. Owings hasn't been able to get anything going at the plate this year. Over 26 games, he's slashed .107/.254/.143 with only two extra-base hits (both doubles). We'll see if another team is willing to take a shot on the 30-year-old veteran, who has a career .239 batting average to go along with 37 home runs over 710 games.
