A few ML signings today:
https://www.mlb.com/player/carlos-de-la-cruz-678926?stats=career-r-hitting-minors&year=2024 (OF out of the Phillies system, 25 years old, hit 24 HRs in 2023 at AA)

https://www.mlb.com/player/ivan-armstrong-678371?stats=career-r-pitching-minors&year=2024 (RHP out of the Angels system, 24 years old, was effective at AA last year but terrible in just 10.2 IP at AAA.)

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Not  clear if it includes an invite to MLB camp. I guess he's a lefty bat to throw into the OF mix.

i fail to see any logic in this signing other than just 1B/DH depth at Rochester.

Schofff and Adon went on the IL, so they needed replacements I guess?

Andrew Knizner released, he had an opt out.  Had been pretty decent at AAA
