Here are Monday’s minor moves from around the league…
- The D-backs announced that they’ve signed veteran catcher Anthony Recker to a minor league contract and invited him to big league camp in Spring Training. The 34-year-old Recker is a career .199/.283/.348 hitters in parts of seven big league seasons and has spent the bulk of the past two years with the Braves, appearing in 39 games at the Major League level. The Diamondbacks organization is well-stocked with catching depth as it is, having Alex Avila, Jeff Mathis and Chris Herrmann on the big league roster plus and John Ryan Murphy on the 40-man roster as well. Josh Thole is also in camp with the D-backs on a minor league deal. Both Herrmann and Murphy are out of minor league options, though, so it’s possible that either could find himself in another organization before the end of camp.
