Red Sox catcher Andrew Knizner has opted out of his contract and will become a free agent. The decision comes after he has been playing at Triple-A, where he posted a .316 batting average.
Both outlets report the same basic details: Knizner chooses to leave the Red Sox organization rather than remain under his current agreement. The reports also note that his opt-out occurs amid a period described as a team resurgence, though they do not provide additional specifics on the team’s internal roster decisions or how his departure would affect plans at the Major League level.
