"A tenth-round pick for the Astros in the 2019 draft, Stubbs was cut loose by Houston in May 2024, and he then quickly inked a new minor league deal with the Nationals. This stint in the Nats organization resulted in Stubbs' first taste of Major League action, albeit a small one - Stubbs' MLB resume consists of a single game, as he went 0-for-3 while starting behind the plate in Washington's 2-0 win over the Marlins on September 1."
"This noteworthy game didn't result in any more playing time for Stubbs, and he elected minor league free agency after being outrighted off Washington's 40-man roster in late October. Alejandro Kirk and Tyler Heineman are locked into the Blue Jays' catching duties, but Stubbs' cup of coffee in the Show is still enough to make him the only other catcher in the organization with any MLB experience."
"He has hit .222/.366/.453 with six homers over that small Triple-A sample, and Stubbs has a career minor league slash line of .206/.315/.396 over 1854 PA. Stubbs has hit 72 homers in the minors and even stolen 52 bases (out of 20 attempts),"
The Blue Jays signed 29-year-old catcher Stubbs to a minor-league deal without a major-league spring training invite. Stubbs, a 2019 tenth-round pick by the Astros, was released in May 2024 and signed a minors deal with the Nationals. He made a single MLB appearance on September 1, going 0-for-3 while catching a two-hit shutout. Stubbs elected minor league free agency after being outrighted off Washington's 40-man roster. Alejandro Kirk and Tyler Heineman are primary catchers in Toronto, leaving Stubbs as the only other organizational catcher with MLB experience and a likely first call-up. His minor league numbers show power and speed but high strikeout totals.
