Availability
Royals catcher Jorge Alfaro is not yet in big-league camp due to visa issues.
Fantasy Impact
Alfaro, a non-roster invitee to big-league camp, was signed to a minor-league deal by the Royals on Jan. 5. The veteran backstop hasn't hit much in his big-league career, sporting a .253 average with 48 homers and a .692 OPS across 1,749 career trips to the plate.
Jorge Alfaro has signed a minor league deal with the Kansas City Royals. The contract presumably includes an invitation to Royals' Spring Training.
Fantasy Impact
Alfaro, 32, has played in the big leagues for parts of nine seasons and has more than 1,700 MLB plate appearances in his career. In 2018 and 2019, with the Phillies and Marlins, Alfaro slugged 28 home runs, drove in 94 runs, and batted .262 across more than 800 plate appearances. However, since hitting 18 home runs in 2019, Alfaro has struggled to find consistent playing time and a home as he has played for five different teams in the last five years. Last season, he had just 39 at bats with the Nationals and batted .256 with three RBI. Alfaro projects as an organizational depth piece at catcher, but could be called upon for some time in Kansas City at some point.
The Washington Nationals signed Jorge Alfaro to a one-year contract on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Alfaro will serve as the Nationals' backup catcher while Keibert Ruiz (concussion) and Drew Millas (finger) are on the injured list. Earlier this season, he was with Triple-A Nashville, posting a .244/.285/.430 slash line over 82 games before being released by the Milwaukee Brewers.
The Brewers signed Jorge Alfaro to a minor league contract.
Fantasy Impact
The deal also includes an invite to spring training. Alfaro did not appear in the majors last season. He will add depth behind the plate for the Brewers organization.
Jorge Alfaro has agreed to a minor-league deal with the Miami Marlins.
Fantasy Impact
Alfaro joins his third team of the 2023 season with the Marlins. He has a .146/.212/.292 slash line in the majors this year with the Rockies and Red Sox.
