Rays sign catcher Michael McKenry

The Tampa Bay Rays signed journeyman catcher Michael McKenry, according to Jon Heyman.

In McKenry's Rays minors deal, 900K if in majors, 475 incentives, can opt out 3/30 and 6/1, spring invite.

The Rays were able to secure McKenry on a minor league deal, that could allow him to opt out at the end of spring training or two months into the season, but if he sticks with the team, he’ll serve as some solid catching depth. That will be even more important as Wilson Ramos recovers from surgery and likely won’t catch until June at the earliest.
