Rays acquire Shoppach from Indians

Posted Dec 1, 2009 by Roger Mooney

Updated Dec 1, 2009 at 03:52 PM

The Rays acquired Kelly Shoppach on Tuesday from the Cleveland Indians for a player to be named later.

The 29-year-old catcher hit .214 last season with 12 home runs in 271 at-bats. In 2008, he led all American League catchers with 21 home runs.

He is a career .295 hitter against left-handed pitchers. He has been added to the 40-man roster, so the Rays will make a corresponding move today to get back to 40 players.
