Red Sox catcher Andrew Knizner has opted out of his minor league contract, becoming a free agent after a stint with Triple-A Worcester. Acquired on June 23 following his release from the Rockies, Knizner struggled to find a spot in Boston’s roster due to the emergence of other catchers and the acquisition of Adley Rutschman. He posted impressive minor league numbers, hitting .316 with two home runs in 21 games, but previous MLB performance raised questions about his future. The Yankees may consider him as they seek a right-handed catching option after missing out on other trades.
