J.P. Arencibia: Walks away from baseball

Arencibia retired from professional baseball Wednesday.The 31-year-old backstop failed to crack a major league roster in 2016, so rather than live off another minor league assignment, he opted to simply step away from the game.

Rays' J.P. Arencibia: Swinging a hot bat since All-Star break
J.P. Arencibia is hitting .396 with four homers for Triple-A Durham in the 11 games since the All-Star break, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.The veteran backstop is slashing .250/.284/.425 overall with the Bulls in 212 at-bats, but recently enjoyed a three-game stretch of multi-hit efforts. Arencibia is only a career .212 hitter at the major league level, but did excel in a 24-game stint with the Tampa Bay Rays last season, producing a .310/.315/.606 line over 71 at-bats that included six homers and 17 RBI. Considering Tampa's season-long quest for offense, there's always a possibility the 30-year-old could find himself with the big league club at some point before the 2016 campaign concludes.

Arencibia signed a minor league contract with the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.The veteran catcher was granted his release by the Phillies on Monday, and with the Rays' deficiencies at catcher at the major league level, Tampa Bay becomes an interesting landing spot for Arencibia.

Carlos Corporan was released in a corresponding move Friday

J.P. Arencibia: Released by Rays
J.P. Arencibia was released by the Rays on Monday.This move was effectively made last week when the Rays designated Arencibia for assignment ahead of the Rule 5 roster deadline. Arencibia once again put his power on display at the major league level last season, smacking six homers in 24 games, but he struggled at Triple-A Durham throughout most of the year. The 29-year-old had a .227/.259/.443 line with Durham, numbers well below his career marks at that level (.258/.304/.508). Still, he figures to get a look in spring training with another club.
