"Knizner hit the market at the end of camp when he was released by the Mariners. He had signed a one-year, $1MM free agent deal with Seattle in December."
"Seattle opted to run it back with a Raleigh/Garver pairing. They also swung a trade for an optionable third catcher, Jhonny Pereda, in the interim."
"Knizner hasn't provided much offensively at the MLB level either. He's a career .211/.281/.316 hitter in just under 1000 plate appearances."
"He'll pair with Fulford behind the dish in Albuquerque with Kyle McCann on the injured list."
Andrew Knizner signed a minor league contract with the Rockies after being released by the Mariners. He immediately joined Triple-A Albuquerque. Knizner was expected to back up Cal Raleigh in Seattle but lost that opportunity to a re-signed Mitch Garver and a trade for Jhonny Pereda. With over five years of service time, he could refuse a minor league assignment. Knizner has a career MLB batting average of .211 but has performed better in Triple-A, where he aims to earn an MLB call-up with Colorado.
