Dodgers Sign David Freitas To Minor-League Deal
The Los Angeles Dodgers signed free-agent catcher David Freitas to a minor-league deal on Thursday. Freitas didn't reach the major leagues in 2022 after signing a minor-league deal with the New York Yankees. In 36 games for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, he hit .239/.310/.345 with a .655 OPS, two home runs, nine RBI and nine runs scored in 127 plate appearances before being released in July. The 33-year-old veteran backstop hasn't played in the big leagues since 2019 with the Seattle Mariners and Milwaukee Brewers. He's played in 59 big-league contests over three seasons, hitting .200/.268/.288 with a homer, eight RBI and 13 runs scored. Freitas will simply be providing minor-league catching depth for LA behind Will Smith, Austin Barnes and Diego Cartaya.
