3/29/24	Cubs sign catcher Curt Casali to minor league deal. Just a day after a season-opening loss to the Texas Rangers and not long after cutting ties with depth backstop Jorge Alfaro, the Chicago Cubs have inked veteran catcher Curt Casali to a minor league deal, according to the club's official transaction log.

3/26/24	Cubs release veteran backup catcher Jorge Alfaro ahead of Opening Day. Always an extremely long shot to make the Opening Day roster, especially once it was clear the Chicago Cubs would not carry three catchers, Jorge Alfaro's brief stint with the organization has come to a close. The Cubs released Alfaro, 30, allowing him to explore opportunities with other teams with the 2024 regular season days from starting. As Maddie Lee of the Sun-Times notes, Alfaro had the option to opt out of the minor league deal he signed with the club if he didn't get added to Chicago's 40-man, but it's unclear if that's what happened here or if the Cubs simply moved on.

2/07/24	It's the 5th Anniversary of the J.T. Realmuto Trade, which is Already a Top 10 Deal in Phillies Franchise History. The Phillies also sent the Marlins some international bonus money in addition to Sanchez, Alfaro, and Stewart. Realmuto came to the Phils with two years of club control, declined a ~$19 million qualifying offer in 2020, then ultimately ended up signing a five-year deal worth $115 million. Since the trade, Realmuto has gone to the All Star Game twice, won two Gold Gloves, made the All-MLB First Team twice and Second Team once, earned two Silver Sluggers and backstopped the Phils to a World Series appearance and NLCS. To expand upon the above tweets, Jorge Alfaro played 253 games for Miami, then was traded to the Padres in 2021 for cash considerations. Source: https://www.crossingbroad.com/2024/02/celebrating-...
12/14/23	Former Padres Catcher Joins NL Central Squad on Minor League Deal. Former Padres Catcher Joins NL Central Squad on Minor League Deal On the road again. Author: Thomas Murray Publish date: Dec 14, 2023 5:30 PM EST It appears that former San Diego Padres catcher Jorge Alfaro is on the move yet again. Per Robert Murray of FanSided, Alfaro has signed a minor league deal with the Chicago Cubs but will have the opportunity to make the MLB roster as he received an invite to spring training this year. Alfaro played just one year with the Padres in 2022 but it was a year that fans will never forget as the team made it to its first NLCS since 1998 after eliminating the division rival Los Angeles Dodgers. That season, Alfaro hit .246 with 40 RBIs and seven home runs. After Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/padres/news/former-padres-c...

8/04/23	Red Sox Player Power Rankings: Post-Trade Deadline Edition. Sure, they technically made some moves, but most of them were of the organizational depth variety and while such transactions have their place, they aren't going to help the Red Sox in 2023 all that much. Enrique Hernández is back with the Dodgers, the Jorge Alfaro era came and went, several players returned from injury and the Red Sox even added some reinforcements like reliever Mauricio Llovera. The roster will look even different in the next few weeks as Trevor Story, Tanner Houck, Garrett Whitlock and Chris Sale return as well, but before we look too far ahead, let's take a look at who's been hot, who's been struggling and who's mirroring the Red Sox's trade deadline strategy and standing still (zing!).

7/09/23	Red Sox Outright Recently DFA'd Catcher To Triple-A. The Boston Red Sox made the decision this past Thursday to re-sign Jorge Alfaro and designate Caleb Hamilton for assignment. The Red Sox announced Sunday, per multiple reports, that the 28-year-old catcher will be outrighted to Triple-A Worcester. Boston pulled off this move since Hamilton has fewer than three years of major league service time and cleared waivers. Hamilton had a brief stint with the Red Sox this season after Reese McGuire suffered an oblique strain and was placed on the injured list on June 22.

6/12/23	Slugging Catcher Lands With New Team After Red Sox Release. It did not take Jorge Alfaro long to find work after leaving the Red Sox organization. Alfaro, who signed a minor-league deal with Boston in late January, was released by the Red Sox earlier this month. The 30-year-old made a case for a big league roster spot across two productive months in Triple-A, but he exercised his opt-out clause June 1 after Boston elected to move forward with the catching tandem of Connor Wong and Reese McGuire. Exactly a week after his Red Sox release, Alfaro joined the Rockies organization on a minor-league deal, per the club's transaction wire. Source: https://nesn.com/2023/06/slugging-catcher-lands-wi...
6/04/23	Red Sox Grant Veteran Catcher Release After Triggering Opt-Out. The Boston Red Sox on Saturday granted Jorge Alfaro his release two days after the veteran catcher triggered an opt-out in his Minor League contract. Alfaro's release was first reported by MassLive's Chris Cotillo and confirmed by the Worcester Red Sox. Alfaro did not play a game in Boston to start the 2023 campaign, hitting .320 in 43 games in Triple-A Worcester. Alfaro, who turns 30 years old later this month, had six home runs and 30 RBIs in his 175 at-bats. Source: https://nesn.com/2023/06/red-sox-grant-veteran-cat...
6/03/23	Red Sox Pitching Prospect Brilliant In Triple-A Worcester Debut. When veteran catcher Jorge Alfaro triggered the opt-out clause in his contract with the Boston Red Sox, the club had 48 hours to either call the 29-year-old up to the Major Leagues or allow him to pursue other options. On Saturday, the Red Sox granted Alfaro his release, and according to MassLive's Chris Cotillo, the now-free agent is not believed to have another team lined up but is free to explore other deals. With a roster spot open in Worcester, Rio Gomez was promoted from Double-A Portland and made his pitching debut with the WooSox on Saturday night. In 10 games with the Sea Dogs, Gomez pitched 19-plus innings with 25 strikeouts and a 6.41 ERA. Source: https://nesn.com/2023/06/red-sox-pitching-prospect...

6/01/23	Red Sox roster: Jorge Alfaro exercises opt-out; team has 48 hours to decide on his future. Red Sox catcher Jorge Alfaro has triggered the opt-out clause in his contract and intends to test free agency if the team doesn't add him to their active roster, a source said Thursday morning. The Red Sox now have 48 hours to either add Alfaro their 26-man group or let him explore opportunities with other teams. Alfaro, who signed a minor league deal with the Sox in January, did not make the Opening Day roster and has spent the entire season at Triple-A Worcester, where he has hit .320 with six homers, 13 doubles, two triples and an .886 OPS in 43 games. Despite the strong offensive performance, it appears unlikely the Red Sox will call Alfaro up, according to a source, largely because of their comfort with the tandem of Reese McGuire and Connor Wong behind the plate.

5/31/23	Red Sox may lose Jorge Alfaro (.320 at AAA) this week; is there a fit on the major league roster?. Over the next 48 hours or so, there's a chance the Red Sox may lose some valuable depth at the catching position. Veteran backstop Jorge Alfaro, who has been with Triple-A Worcester all season after failing to make Boston's Opening Day roster, can exercise an opt-out clause in his contract Thursday (June 1) to pursue major league opportunities.
