With only two catchers currently on the 40-man roster, it has been assumed that the Baltimore Orioles would bring in a veteran catcher before the start of the 2019 season to help supplement the current young backstops on the roster in Austin Wynns and Chance Sisco. He wasn’t on our list of potential veteran options the organization could bring in, but the Orioles have signed six-year MLB veteran Jesus Sucre.
First reported by Bob Nightengale of USA Today, Sucre’s contract is a minor league, worth $850,000 if he makes the active roster.
