Tony Wolters Agrees To Minor-League Deal With Twins
The Minnesota Twins agreed to a minor-league deal with free-agent catcher Tony Wolters on Thursday. Wolters will likely receive a non-roster invitation to major-league spring training, but the 30-year-old backstop will likely begin the 2023 season in the minor leagues. He played in just two big-league games in 2022 with the Los Angeles Dodgers and was hitless in four plate appearances with three strikeouts. Known as a glove-first catcher, Wolters has played in seven major-league seasons and has a career slash line of just .235/.321/.314 with a .635 OPS, seven home runs, 123 RBI, 131 runs scored and six stolen bases in 407 games played. Wolters figures to serve as organizational catching depth behind Christian Vazquez and Ryan Jeffers.
