According to Chris Cotillo, the Boston Red Sox have signed catcher Ronaldo Hernandez to a minor-league deal. This looks like a depth move for Boston after they recently traded Blake Sabol to the Chicago White Sox. Hernandez is slashing .221/.287/.351 with two home runs and 13 RBI across 25 games in Triple-A with the New York Yankees. Hernandez has shown good flashes as he hit over .300 across 63 games in the minors with the Arizona Diamondbacks last season. He figures to spend most of his time at Triple-A and possibly head to Boston as emergency depth.

According to the team, the New York Yankees have signed catcher Ronaldo Hernandez to a minor-league contract. The 27-year-old has yet to make his MLB debut. Last season, he spent the entire season with the Arizona Diamondbacks, playing with Triple-A Reno. Across 63 games, Hernandez held a strong .311/.357/.507 slash line with 10 doubles, 11 home runs, and an 11:36 BB:K ratio. During his first look at Triple-A, during the 2023 campaign, Hernandez held a lower .242/.336/.445 line with Triple-A Worcester. Fantasy managers should monitor his progress during spring training as he could contend for an early-season debut if he continues this production. Currently, Alex Jackson and J.C. Escarra are set to compete for the No. 2 role behind Austin Wells.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have signed catcher Ronaldo Hernandez to a minor-league deal. The 26-year-old was originally signed by the Tampa Bay Rays and made his professional debut in the 2015 season. More recently, he spent the 2023 season at the Triple-A level in the Red Sox organization, swatting 17 home runs alongside a .242 batting average across 99 games played. Overall, the righty-swinging backstop owns a career .279 average with 91 HR across 636 games played in the minor leagues. He will presumably serve as Triple-A catching depth for the reigning NL champs in the 2024 campaign.
