Curt Casali News
The Chicago Cubs signed free-agent catcher Curt Casali to a minor-league deal on Friday. Casali comes to the Cubbies after being released by the Miami Marlins earlier this week. The 35-year-old veteran backstop will begin his 2024 campaign at Triple-A Iowa while serving as organizational catching depth behind big-leaguers Yan Gomes and Miguel Amaya. The former 10th-round pick of the Detroit Tigers in 2011 out of Vanderbilt is nowhere near the fantasy radar right now. He hit .175/.290/.200 with no home runs and six RBI in just 40 big-league games with the Cincinnati Reds last year and has a career slash line of .200/.314/.380 with 47 homers and 154 RBI in 502 games over 10 seasons with four different organizations.
Free-agent catcher Curt Casali agreed to a minor-league deal with the Miami Marlins on Tuesday, according to sources. Casali's deal includes an invitation to major-league spring training. The 35-year-old veteran backstop will join Miami after hitting a meager .175/.290/.200 with no home runs, six RBI and eight runs scored in 40 games played for the Cincinnati Reds in 2023 as their backup. He could have more opportunity with the Fish this year, although he'll enter camp behind both Nick Fortes and Christian Bethancourt. Casali is well off the fantasy radar as a career .220/.314/.380 hitter with 47 long balls and 154 RBI in 502 games across 10 big-league seasons with the Reds, Tampa Bay Rays, San Francisco Giants and Seattle Mariners.
The Cincinnati Reds signed free-agent catcher Curt Casali to a one-year, $5 million contract on Thursday. The deal includes a mutual option for the 2024 season. In a corresponding move, veteran infielder Mike Moustakas was designated for assignment. Casali will return to the Reds after playing for them from 2018-2020, when he swung the bat well to the tune of a .260/.345/.440 slash line, 18 home runs, 56 RBI, 49 runs scored and two stolen bases in that three-year stretch of time. The 34-year-old is unlikely to return to that sort of offensive prominence this time around as the clear backup to starter Tyler Stephenson, but Casali could become intriguing if Stephenson misses more time with injury. Casali played in 57 games for the Giants and Mariners in 2022, hitting .203/.318/.331 with five home runs, 17 RBI and 20 runs scored.
