Rays sign C Gimenez to minor league deal with invite to big league camp

The Rays signed C Chris Gimenez to a minor league deal with an invite to big league spring training.
This is interesting, because Gimenez has major league experience.
Jose Molina, who signed with the Rays early this offseason, gives the Rays experience behind the plate, but he has been nothing more than a backup during his entire career.
This left the Rays with Jose Lobaton and Robinson Chirinos as the options to share the platoon with Molina.
But Gimenez has started 52 games behind the plate over the past three seasons while playing for the Indians (2009, 2010) and the Mariners (2011).
He’s also started 18 games in left field, eight in right and 20 games at first base.
