Baltimore Orioles Add Cael Brockmeyer to Replace Jesus Sucre
The Baltimore Orioles catching competition gets a bit strange as Jesus Sucre is unable to leave Venezuela and Cael Brockmeyer is added to the spring training roster
A week ago, I broke down the catching competition we’ll see in Sarasota. When I wrote that piece, the Baltimore Orioles had six backstops with spring training invites. There are still six catchers in Florida right now, but instead of Jesus Sucre being among them, he’s been momentarily replaced by Cael Brockmeyer.
If you’ve never heard of Brockmeyer, you’re not alone. The Orioles signed him to a minor league deal at the end of January, which went widely unnoticed.
