"He's Vinny Capra. The 29-year-old actually already has ties to New England/Boston. He was drafted by the Blue Jays in the 20th round of the 2018 MLB Draft and spent some playing time for Manchester, New Hampshire's Fisher Cats. After making his Major League debut with Toronto, he was traded alongside Tyler Heineman, who himself spent some time in the Red Sox system."
"He has not been good at the Major League level at the plate, but that's not to say he's without usefulness: he is defensively versatile. He's played every defensive position except catcher, first base, and center field in the last 12 months. Capra has committed just 31 errors total since 2021, so he's defensively sound as well. However, he has no isolated power to speak of at the Major League level, notching an OPS of .334 (!)."
"Tl;dr, just give me his 2025 stats. AAA: .286/.384/.440, 3 HR, 10 RBI MLB: 125/.157/.177, 1 HR, 6 RBI"
Vinny Capra is a 29-year-old infielder from Melbourne, Florida with prior ties to New England after time with Manchester's Fisher Cats. Drafted by the Blue Jays in the 20th round of the 2018 MLB Draft, he made his major-league debut with Toronto and was later traded alongside Tyler Heineman. Capra played a career-high 47 big-league games last season with the Brewers and White Sox. The Red Sox signed him to a minor-league contract with a spring-training invite. Capra has played every defensive position except catcher, first base, and center field in the last 12 months and has committed 31 errors since 2021. His major-league offense has been poor, posting an OPS of .334, one career home run (against Carlos Rodon), and a wRC+ described as negative eleven. Projected 2025 lines forecast stronger Triple-A production but continued MLB struggles.
