Rockies Sign Veteran Catcher Knizner to Minor League Deal

The Colorado Rockies have added catching depth by signing veteran Andrew Knizner to a minor league contract.

Knizner, a 31-year-old with a career .596 OPS, previously played for the Cardinals, Rangers, and Giants. He was released by the Mariners this spring and possesses over five years of service time, giving him the option to decline a minor league assignment if needed. The move provides the Rockies with defensive experience behind starter Hunter Goodman.
