Robinson Chirinos News
Catcher Robinson Chirinos officially announced his retirement from professional baseball on Wednesday on his Twitter account. Chirinos hadn't played at all in 2023 and hit .179/.265/.287 with a .552 OPS, nine doubles, four home runs, 22 RBI, a steal and 10 runs scored in 67 games for the Baltimore Orioles in 2022. He spent time with six different teams during his 11-year career, but he only spent significant time with one team, the Texas Rangers (seven seasons). He saw one-year stints with the Mets, Rays, Cubs, Orioles and Astros. The 38-year-old backstop will walk away from the game with a career .226/.319/.419 slash line with a .738 OPS, 95 home runs, 306 RBI and five stolen bases in 714 regular season games.
Baltimore Orioles catcher Robinson Chirinos (head) passed the league's concussion protocol and will avoid a stint on the injured list after taking a pitch off the left side of his face/shoulder on Wednesday. Manager Brandon Hyde said that Chirinos should be back in the lineup this weekend against the Los Angeles Angels. "That was a good phone call to get that he's OK," Hyde said. With Chirinos out of the lineup on Thursday, Anthony Bemboom is doing the catching and hitting eighth against Oakland Athletics right-hander Paul Blackburn. The 37-year-old Chirinos has just four singles and no RBI in his first 22 at-bats over 10 games played. He's just keeping the seat warm for catching prospect Adley Rutschman.
The Baltimore Orioles signed veteran catcher Robinson Chirinos to a one-year contract, according to Marly Rivera of ESPN. Chirinos is nothing more than a stopgap option for the O's, as top-prospect Adley Rutschman should spend the bulk of the season as the starting catcher in Baltimore. The 37-year-old Chirinos slashed .221/324/.454 with five homers across 45 games for the Cubs last season and is an afterthought in even the deepest fantasy leagues.
