The Red Sox have announced the signing of catcher Gustavo Molina to a minor league deal with an invite to Spring Training.
Molina, no relation to the Molina brothers Jose, Bengie and Yadier, has spent the majority of his time in the minor leagues for the White Sox, Orioles, Mets and Nationals organizations. Gustavo has had 19 major league appearances split between Chicago, Baltimore and New York, going 4 for 34. He spent 2009 exclusively in the minors, where he hit .209/.233/.308 in 211 at-bats for Triple-A Syracuse. In ten minor league seasons, Molina has hit .235/.295/.342. He'll likely serve as an emergency catcher in Pawtucket in 2010.
