The Cubs bolstered their catching depth by signing catcher Luis Torrens to a minor-league contract with a spring training invitation, a deal the club announced Thursday.

Torrens’ offensive production slipped this past season, his OPS dropping from .730 in 2021 to .581 last year. The Mariners non-tendered him in November, but their president of baseball operations, Jerry Dipoto, told reporters then that the club would extend Torrens a non-roster invite to spring training if he didn’t sign with another team.
