[新聞] Royals Sign Brayan Pena
Former Royals catcher Brayan Pena is returning to the organization on a minor
league contract, reports FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal (Twitter link). The deal
comes with an invitation to spring training for Pena, who previously played
in Kansas City from 2009-12.
Pena, 35, had been sitting on the free agent market since the Cardinals
released him Nov. 28. In doing so, the Redbirds had to eat the remaining
$2.5MM left on the two-year, $5MM deal they awarded Pena in free agency last
offseason. Lingering knee issues weighed down Pena during his stint in St.
Louis, where he collected just 14 plate appearances.
As a member of the Royals, Tigers and Reds from 2009-15, the switch-hitter
batted .262/.303/.355 in 1,805 plate appearances. Defensively, Baseball
Prospectus has given Pena positive overall grades as a pitch framer, though
he has fallen into the negatives in recent seasons. Pena has also thrown out
28 percent of attempted base stealers during his career – just above the 27
percent league-average mark.
Barring injuries, Pena is unlikely to see much major league action with
Kansas City this season. The Royals’ starting catcher is eminently durable
standout Salvador Perez, who has played at least 138 games in four straight
seasons, and they gave backup Drew Butera a guaranteed $3.8MM in November.
古巴捕手Pena回來了。
不過球隊目前捕手這塊滿穩的，他應該跟前幾年的另一個Pena一樣都會在小聯盟。
