flag The Kansas City Royals signed veteran catcher Jorge Alfaro to a minor league deal in January 2026, likely for Triple-A depth.

flag The Kansas City Royals signed veteran catcher Jorge Alfaro to a minor league contract in January 2026, including a spring training invite. flag The 32-year-old, previously with the Phillies and Marlins, has struggled offensively and defensively in recent years, posting a .237 batting average and high strikeout rate since 2020. flag While he hit 15 home runs in Triple-A in 2025, his overall offensive and defensive metrics remain below average. flag The Royals, already stocked with catchers including Salvador Perez and prospects Carter Jensen, Blake Mitchell, and Ramon Ramirez, are likely using Alfaro as depth for Triple-A Omaha. flag The move is seen as low-risk, with little expectation of a major league role unless injury or standout performance arises.
