The Kansas City Royals have signed catcher Luke Maile to a minor league contract with a Spring Training invitation. Maile will serve as backup depth, with Salvador Perez and Freddy Fermin firmly positioned on the active roster. Despite Maile's nine years of MLB experience, his performance has declined recently, evidenced by below-average defensive metrics and a low batting average. He is expected to remain in the minors unless major league opportunities arise elsewhere, as he could opt out of his contract if not projected for playing time in Kansas City.
Catcher Luke Maile has signed a minor league contract with the Royals, bringing MLB experience to their depth chart, as he awaits a chance at Spring Training.
With Salvador Perez and Freddy Fermin as the primary catchers for the Royals, Luke Maile's role is likely to be limited to minor league depth unless injuries occur.
