Scouting Report: Randy Wynne
Chicago Cubs | SP
Overall
Summary
Austin Wynns (note: the user referenced "Randy Wynne" but the actual player in the news is Austin Wynns) has been designated for assignment by the Oakland Athletics. The 35-year-old backup catcher was designated when Shea Langeliers returned from the paternity list. Wynns has struggled significantly with the A's, posting a .167/.204/.304 slash line over 36 games and 110 plate appearances, a stark contrast to his .400/.442/.700 performance with Cincinnati. Over his 8-year MLB career spanning six teams, Wynns has compiled a .231/.276/.347 batting line with 19 home runs across 826 plate appearances. While his framing grades are not particularly strong, he has demonstrated solid blocking skills and an excellent 30.2% caught stealing rate. Wynns will likely clear waivers and has the option to reject an outright assignment due to his five-plus years of service time.
