    Chris Iannetta: Announces retirement

    Chris Iannetta announced his retirement from baseball Saturday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.The 37-year-old calls it quits following a 14-year major-league career in which he spent time with the Rockies, Angels, Mariners and Diamondbacks. He'll retire with a wRC+ of exactly 100, the product of a .230/.345/.406 slash line. The veteran backstop finished with 820 hits, including 141 homers, on his resume. His career highlights include a trip to the World Series with the 2007 Rockies and catching Jered Weaver's no-hitter with the Angels in 2012.

    Yankees' Chris Iannetta: Designated for assignment

    Chris Iannetta was designated for assignment by the New York Yankees on Saturday.Iannetta served as a third catcher for the Yankees to begin the season since rosters were expanded to 30 players, but he'll be removed from the 40-man roster to make room for Masahiro Tanaka (concussion), who was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move. The catcher didn't appear in any of the Yankees' first six games of the 2020 campaign. Given the 37-year-old's lack of production over his career, it's unlikely that he'll be claimed off waivers.

    Yankees' Chris Iannetta: Opens season in majors

    Chris Iannetta signed a major-league deal with the New York Yankees on Tuesday.The veteran backstop was unlikely to earn an Opening Day roster spot in spring training, but the Yankees will take advantage of the expanded 30-man roster to carry a third catcher. Iannetta is unlikely to see significant opportunities with Gary Sanchez locked in as the starter and Kyle Higashioka as the top backup behind the plate.

    Yankees' Chris Iannetta: Claims spot on 60-man roster

    Chris Iannetta has been named to the New York Yankees' 60-man player pool.The veteran catcher looks to be third on the Yankees' catching depth chart for the upcoming season, which could earn him some playing time given Gary Sanchez's recent injury history and the uncertain outlook of the upcoming campaign. At the least, Iannetta should find himself traveling with the team as part of their three-man road taxi squad since MLB rules dictate that at least one catcher must be included.

    Yankees' Chris Iannetta: Unlikely to land roster spot

    Chris Iannetta is expected to be edged out for the New York Yankees' No. 2 catcher role by Kyle Higashioka, George A. King III of the New York Post reports.The Yankees signed Iannetta to a minor-league contract in early January and brought him to camp as a non-roster invitee. While the veteran performed well this spring, hitting .400 (8-for-20) with three doubles and eight walks, Higashioka impressed as well with a .276 average (8-for-29) and a trio of home runs. That Grapefruit League production, combined with his tenure with the organization and lack of minor-league options, appears to have earned Higashioka the opportunity to back up Gary Sanchez to begin the campaign.

    Yankees' Chris Iannetta: Gets minor-league deal with Yankees

    Chris Iannetta signed a minor-league contract with the New York Yankees on Thursday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.The 36-year-old appeared in 52 major-league games for the Rockies last season, but he was designated for assignment in August after struggling both defensively and at the plate. Given Iannetta's past experience, he'll likely be a non-roster invitee for spring training.

    Rockies' Chris Iannetta: Designated for assignment

    Chris Iannetta was designated for assignment by the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday, Jenny Cavnar of AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports.The move didn't come as a surprise since the veteran has struggled defensively this season and has had a subpar year at the plate, recording a slash line of .222/.311/.417 with 54 strikeouts. The Rockies selected the contract of catcher Dom Nunez in a corresponding move.

    Rockies' Chris Iannetta: Expected to lose roster spot

    The Colorado Rockies are expected to designate Chris Iannetta for assignment prior to Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.Colorado plans to call up Dom Nunez from Triple-A Albuquerque to take Iannetta's spot as the backup behind top catcher Tony Wolters. Though Iannetta was valued last season for his game-calling skills and framing, he's taken a step back by most defensive metrics in 2019 and hasn't made up for the difference with the bat, as his 18 wRC+ is his worst mark for any year in which he's logged at least 100 plate appearances. Once he's removed from the 40-man roster, Iannetta seems likely to go unclaimed off waivers and could ultimately opt for free agency.
