The Blue Jays claimed catcher Shawn Ross off waivers from the Mets and assigned him to Triple-A Buffalo after New York designated him for assignment. Ross, an undrafted free agent who began his career with the Pirates in 2022, has a minor league batting line of .189/.321/.413 and a high strikeout rate of 38.51%. He will serve as depth behind catchers Alejandro Kirk and Brandon Valenzuela, with two minor league options remaining for future flexibility. If he can improve his strikeout issues, Ross may provide intriguing power potential.
