Tony Wolters News
The Minnesota Twins agreed to a minor-league deal with free-agent catcher Tony Wolters on Thursday. Wolters will likely receive a non-roster invitation to major-league spring training, but the 30-year-old backstop will likely begin the 2023 season in the minor leagues. He played in just two big-league games in 2022 with the Los Angeles Dodgers and was hitless in four plate appearances with three strikeouts. Known as a glove-first catcher, Wolters has played in seven major-league seasons and has a career slash line of just .235/.321/.314 with a .635 OPS, seven home runs, 123 RBI, 131 runs scored and six stolen bases in 407 games played. Wolters figures to serve as organizational catching depth behind Christian Vazquez and Ryan Jeffers.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have reached an agreement with catcher Tony Wolters on a minor league deal. The 29-year-old played 14 games with the Chicago Cubs this season, but didn't have much success. Wolters put together have decent numbers earlier in his career with the Colorado Rockies. He'll mainly be catching depth for the Dodgers and can be avoided in fantasy leagues for the moment.
The Chicago Cubs have designated catcher Tony Wolters for assignment. Wolters has spent two stints on the Cubs roster this year and has operated as the backup to catcher Willson Contreras. Wolters only produced three hits in 24 at-bats. If he doesn't clear waivers, Wolters is likely to land on his feet as organizational depth for another franchise. Catcher P.J. Higgins will replace Wolters on the roster and become the Cubs new backup catcher. Higgins has been off to a hot start for Triple-A Iowa with a .333 batting average to go along with one home run, six RBI and eight walks. Higgins can safely be left on the waiver wire in all formats with limited playing time.
