Bethancourt signed a minor-league contract with the Athletics on Nov. 25.

Bethancourt will likely report to Triple-A Las Vegas to begin the 2022 campaign, but he could be the first catcher in line for a promotion to the big club, given that the Athletics currently have only two backstops (Sean Murphy and Austin Allen) on the 40-man roster. The 30-year-old has previously seen big-league action with Atlanta and San Diego across five seasons from 2013 through 2017, slashing a collective .222/.252/.316 in 489 career plate appearances.
