Still in definite need of a catcher, we reach a deal with the Brooklyn Originals, who have had C Angelo Arizmendi on their block/available seemingly forever. He's always been an interesting player but was owed far too much money. Now in the last year of his deal, we're able to get Brooklyn to eat about 50% of his deal and send SP Jeff Beckham, who has been back and forth between AAA and Portland over the last few years. He struggled out of the pen last year, so he'll maybe get another shot in the rotation in Brooklyn and we'll get Arizmendi in return.
The switch-hitting catcher has a below average bat (58 wRC+), but is elite behind the dish. We'll see if we can find an offensive-minded catcher in FA.
45+ rated FA: 4
