That would be a good team for him. He is not the worst back-up catcher in the world, but certainly not starter-quality. I wish him luck as he always seemed like a decent guy.82birds wrote: ↑12 Dec 2025 16:32 pm Mariners Working On Deal With Andrew Knizner

Re: Kniz finds another team
Currently sitting at five years service time at age 30. Has an outside shot at reaching the 10 year mark, which qualifies him for a full pension. Just has to remain a viable MLB backup catcher for five more years. Backing up a guy like Raleigh should help his longevity, as he won’t be expected to start often behind the plate.zuck698 wrote: ↑12 Dec 2025 16:43 pmThat would be a good team for him.
