The Red Sox have signed catcher to a minor league contract, ESPNs Kiley McDaniel reports ( ). The deal contains an Jordan Bone Jersey invitation to Bostons big league Spring Training camp. Kolozsvarys MLB resume consists of 10 games with the Reds in 2022 and then one game (or, one half-inning as a defensive replacement) with the Orioles this past season. The 28-year-old backstop was designated for a signment and then outrighted shortly after that lone appearance for the Os, and Kolozsvary landed with the Twins on a minor league deal soon thereafter. Originally a seventh-round pick for the Reds in the 2017 draft, Kolozsvary hasnt hit much during his minor league career, and he has only a .174/.282/.301 slash line over 300 plate appearances at the Triple-A level. However, he managed to climb the ladder and reach the majors on the strength of his all-around solid defensive game. Its the type of skillset that has extended many a catchers career, and Kolozsvary will head to Bostons camp looking to impre s either Red Sox bra s or perhaps opposing scouts, if he ends up being a late cut. The Red Sox already have and lined up as their regular catching tandem, was signed to a minor league deal earlier in December, and top prospect could make his MLB debut at some point in 2024. While perhaps somewhat of a crowded situation on paper, teams usually like to have depth in camp at the catcher position, and the Sox will be looking to both continue Teels development while also having an acceptable amount of emergency depth on hand at the Triple-A level.
