Known primarily for his defensive prowess, Mientkiewicz has played for the Twins, Red Sox, Mets, Royals, Yankees, Pirates and Dodgers during a 10-year major league career. He played in 20 games last season for Los Angeles, but spent much of the year on the disabled list because of a shoulder injury. Mientkiewicz spent spring training with the Dodgers and competed for a left-handed pinch-hitting role, but did not make the team. Los Angeles offered Mientkiewicz a coaching job in the organization, but he decided not to accept it in order to continue playing. |
Doug Mientkiewicz has signed a minor league contract with the Marlins, the team confirmed on Wednesday.
