Detroit – The Tigers continue to build organizational depth at the catcher position.
On Friday they acquired 25-year-old, switch-hitting catcher Jhon Nunez from Boston in exchange for left-handed pitcher Matt Hall, whom they designated for assignment last week.
Nunez, who spent 2019 at Double-A Portland, was an Eastern League All-Star in the first half and finished with a .280./.353/.412 slash line. He also threw out 42 percent of would-be base stealers.
He will be one of eight catchers invited to big league camp next month.
