More catchers? Hurrah!
The Reds selected a pair of catchers in the Major League phase of the Rule 5 Draft on Thursday morning as the 2016 Winter Meetings came to a close.
Cincinnati took Luis Torrens from the Yankees with the second pick of the first round, and Stuart Turner was selected in the second round from the Twins’ organization. Torrens, whom MLBPipeline.com ranked as the 17th-best prospect in the Yankees’ system, was dealt on Thursday night to the Padres for a player to be named and cash.
Okay, just one new catcher added to the organization: Stuart Turner.
