"He was non-tendered shortly thereafter, and while he re-signed with Toronto on a minor league deal he was traded to Pittsburgh in exchange for catcher Tyler Heineman in April of the 2023 campaign. Capra has been riding the waiver wire ever since, with brief stints in the majors and longer track records at Triple-A for each of the Pirates, Brewers, and White Sox organizations."
"This season was by far Capra's largest opportunity in the majors, as he appeared in 47 MLB games with 105 trips to the plate between the Brewers and White Sox after topping out at nine games at 21 trips to the plate across his three previous years as a big leaguer. Unfortunately, Capra didn't do much with the opportunity as he hit just .125/.157/.177 in that time, with a 23.8% strikeout rate against a microscopic 2.9% walk rate and just three extra-base hits."
"It wasn't exactly a strong impression, but Capra's ability to capable handle second and third base as well as shortstop and even occasional work in the outfield still makes him a solid depth piece for virtually any team on a minor league deal like this one. While he's yet to break through in the majors, his numbers at Triple-A are quite respectable, including a .286/.384/.440 slash line with Charlotte this year. That lifted his career line at Triple-A to .272/.368/.389 across 257 games."
Vinny Capra signed a minor-league contract with the Boston Red Sox. Capra is a 29-year-old infielder who debuted in MLB in 2022 after being a 20th-round pick by the Blue Jays in 2018. He has appeared in parts of four major-league seasons with brief stints for Toronto, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee and the White Sox while spending significant time at Triple-A. Capra hit .125/.157/.177 in 47 MLB games in 2025 with 105 plate appearances, posting a 23.8% strikeout rate and 2.9% walk rate. He has a career Triple-A line of .272/.368/.389 and can play multiple infield positions and occasional outfield.
