Andrew Knapp To Sign With The Pirates
3 years agoThe Pittsburgh Pirates are making a move to sign catcher Andrew Knapp, according to Pirates beat writer Jason Mackey. Knapp opted out of his contract with the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday. He will join the Pirates as a backup behind starter Roberto Perez. Knapp spent each of the first five years of his big league career with the Philadelphia Phillies, but he was outrighted by the team after the 2021 season. The 30-year-old is better known for his defensive abilities than his bat. Over 309 games in the majors, he has a .214/.314/.322 slash line and 13 home runs.
