Inks minors deal with Cubs
The Cubs signed Casali to a minor-league contract Friday.
ANALYSIS
Casali was released by the Marlins earlier this week after failing to crack their Opening Day roster. The veteran backstop will head to Triple-A Iowa for now, where he will be the third catcher on the organizational depth chart behind Yan Gomes and Miguel Amaya.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Fit for Cubs
The Cubs are looking for a defense-first catcher and Casali is a logical choice, opines Patrick Mooney of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
The Cubs already have Yan Gomes on the roster and could add another veteran like Casali to the mix. Gomes is 35 and Casali is 34 and both hit right-handed, so it seems that it's more likely that they would split the duties behind the plate rather than operate as a platoon. The Giants have also been connected to Casali in free agency this year.

2015
Casali is the textbook definition of a backup catcher. He's appeared in the big leagues for nine consecutive years but has never received more than 256 plate appearances in a given season. He came to the plate 176 times for the Giants and Mariners last season and hit .203/.318/.331, good for a passable 92 wRC+, an exact match for his career mark. Being within striking distance of league-average at the plate while playing half your games at Great American Ball Park gives Casali a path to at least temporary fantasy value should Tyler Stephenson (who was limited to 50 games last season) get injured. Casali has had success in Cincinnati before, hitting .260/.345/.440 across 485 plate appearances from 2018 through 2020, so there's reason to be optimistic. Of course, he's also now 34 years old, so a step back is more likely than a return to his peak numbers.
