This is the final article of the Know Your Orioles 40-man series, which features an article about each player currently on the Orioles roster.
The Birds spent a chunk of the offseason with zero catchers on their 40-man roster. Yet nobody expected any flashy moves at the backstop position, considering that top prospect Adley Rutschman is on the cusp of the majors.
There were bound to be low-level signings to supplement the position, because even Rutschman needs a backup. Accordingly, O’s general manager Mike Elias recently added a veteran presence to the mix. Catcher Robinson Chirinos was signed on March 14 to play a vital role on the ball club, especially early in the season.
