The Oakland A’s catching situation is wide open entering the offseason, but one long-term depth option is sticking around for another year. Beau Taylor has re-signed on a minor league contract, first reported by the Baseball-Rosters Twitter account and then confirmed by Susan Slusser of the S.F. Chronicle.
After being drafted by the A’s all the way back in 2011 and spending eight seasons in the minors, Taylor finally made his MLB debut this past summer at age 28. He made it into seven games and racked up six plate appearances, finishing with a double, a walk, and two strikeouts.
