Tue Dec 27 2022 | 18:25 | Reds Sign Austin Romine, Alan Busenitz |
The Cincinnati Reds signed free-agent catcher Austin Romine and right-hander Alan Busenitz to minor-league deals on Tuesday that include invitations to major-league spring training. Romine, an 11-year veteran, hit just .155/.187/.248 with three home runs, nine RBI and 10 runs scored in 51 games with the Los Angeles Angels, St. Louis Cardinals and Reds in 2022. The 34-year-old backstop will provide organizational depth with a career slash line of .230/.268/.348 in 484 games. Busenitz, a 32-year-old right-handed reliever hasn't appeared in the majors since 2018. In his two years with the Minnesota Twins, he had a 4.58 ERA (5.49 FIP), 1.44 WHIP and 49 strikeouts in 57 innings over 51 relief appearances. He pitched much better in Japan the last four years, but Busenitz will strictly be organizational relief depth. |

Fri Jul 29 2022 | 14:29 | Austin Romine Activated From Restricted List |
The St. Louis Cardinals activated catcher Austin Romine from the restricted list on Thursday. The Cardinals also optioned outfielder Conner Capel, catcher Ivan Herrera and second baseman Cory Spangenberg to Triple-A Memphis. Romine was unavailable to play in a two-game series in Toronto this week against the Blue Jays because he's unvaccinated. With Yadier Molina (knee) still on the injured list while rehabbing in the minor leagues, Romine will return to serve as Andrew Knizner's backup for a weekend series against the Washington Nationals, which starts on Friday. In nine games for St. Louis, Romine is 3-for-22 with two walks and seven strikeouts. |

Wed Aug 25 2021 | 19:13 | Austin Romine Hits First Homer |
Chicago Cubs catcher Austin Romine went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Colorado Rockies. Romine took Austin Gomber yard in the bottom of the fourth inning to tie the game at 2-2 at the time. Romine has been hurt by injuries this year and has only had 29 at-bats for the season. With Willson Contreras (knee) nearing a return and Robinson Chirinos being more productive at the plate, Romine's future could be cloudy moving forward. He is now hitting .207 with one home run and two RBI. |

Fri Mar 26 2021 | 14:14 | INF Andrew Romine released from minor league deal by Twins |
FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Infielder Andrew Romine has been released from his minor league contract by the Minnesota Twins. The 35-year-old, the brother of Chicago Cubs catcher Austin Romine, hit .185 (5 for 27) with one RBI during spring training. Had he been added to the major league roster, he would have received a $750,000, one-year contract. Romine is a 10-year major league veteran who appeared in two games with Texas last year, going 1 for 4. He has a .235 career average with 10 homers and 81 RBIs for the Los Angeles Angels (2010-13), Detroit (2014-17), Seattle (2018) and the Rangers. Minnesota announced the decision Thursday night. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports |
