Arcia

Arcia signed a minor league contract with the Nationals back in mid-March and got into 11 games this season for Triple-A Rochester. The 33-year-old veteran catcher hasn’t appeared in the majors since the 2018 season.

The Nationals are dealing with some catching issues this spring behind starter Keibert Ruiz, so it’s not a surprise to see them add some experienced depth. The 33-year-old veteran backstop hasn’t appeared in the majors since the 2018 campaign. He was with the Angels back in 2021 on a minor league contract and didn’t play professionally last year.

Arcia inked a minor-league deal with the Angels back in May and appeared in just 10 games at Triple-A Salt Lake prior to his release earlier this month.

Arcia hasn’t appeared in the major leagues since 2018. He’ll serve as organizational catching depth at Triple-A Salt Lake.

Arcia had been at Triple-A in the Cubs organization. He’ll give the Yanks some catching depth in the minors.

Arcia batted .204/.226/.427 over 40 games for the Angels last season before they cut him loose this offseason. He’s likely headed to Triple-A Iowa to start the season.

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster. Arcia batted .204/.226/.427 over 40 games for the Halos.

It’s pretty pathetic when you need a position player to pitch in a September game, but the Angels decided to move Arcia from catcher to pitcher down 18-2 in the seventh inning today. He ended up with a lower ERA (13.50) than the rest of the staff (16.50) today. The homer was his sixth in 86 at-bats.

The 27-year-old backstop is much better known for his glove-work than he is with the bat. In 2016, he slashed .228/.307/.283 with one homer and 20 RBI in 350 plate appearances between Double-A Jacksonville and Triple-A New Orleans. He’s merely organizational catching depth for the Halos.

The 26-year-old backstop has toiled in the minor leagues for the past nine seasons in the Yankees organization. He hit ..248/.325/.319 with three homers and 23 RBI in 70 games with Double-A Trenton in 2015.
