Rumors have reported that the New York Yankees signed catcher Erik Kratz to a minor league deal on Friday.
Kratz, 39, has had several stints with the Yankees over the last few years. He made four appearances with the team in 2017, and spent time in Scranton in both 2018 and 2019.
Because of his age, he’s on the last leg of his career and just happy to being playing baseball. He’s played pro ball since 2002 and made MLB appearances in every season since 2010.
The signing of Kratz actually makes the catcher depth chart clearer.
