Braves vying for Erik Kratz

The Mariners announced that they’ve signed catcher Erik Kratz to a minor league deal. The 35-year-old Kratz, a client of Metis Sports Management, will head to Triple-A Tacoma for the time being. Earlier today, SB Nation’s Chris Cotillo tweeted that Kratz had agreed to a deal with a new team, with Seattle a likely landing spot.
 
Mariners' Revenge usually involves dropping a loose Kratz.

One thing I've noticed in my time here in Seattle is that many players who are good at baseball, hitters in particular, come up here and suck hairy ass. Then Jack Z gets disgusted and fires their ass and they go to another team and establish that yes, they're pretty good ball players.

It's getting old and will cost Z his job in the next few months. But Kratz was a real nice backup to Chooch in PHI.
