Blasts two home runs Friday Chirinos went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs in Friday's 8-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Chirinos had homered just once since he joined the Cubs in early July, but he flashed his power in Friday's blowout win with home runs in the fourth and sixth innings. The 37-year-old has gone 6-for-16 with three home runs, four RBI and four runs across 11 games with the Cubs.

Contreras, Cubs rally for 4-2 victory over Diamondbacks

Willson Contreras capped Chicago’s three-run ninth inning with a two-run homer, sending the Cubs to a 4-2 victory over the lowly Arizona Diamondbacks

JULY 17, 2021 • Associated Press

Homers as pinch hitter Chirinos hit a solo home run in his only at-bat during Tuesday's 15-10 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Chirinos' pinch-hit blast went to center field in the ninth inning, but the Cubs were unable to rally. The catcher began the year in the Yankees' organization with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He posted a career-worst .162/.232/.243 slash line in 82 plate appearances between the Mets and the Rangers last season. Chirinos will likely serve as Willson Contreras' backup at catcher going forward.

Cubs agree to 1-year contract with backup catcher Chirinos

The Chicago Cubs have agreed to a one-year contract with catcher Robinson Chirinos

JULY 5, 2021 • Associated Press

Signs with Cubs Chirinos signed a one-year contract with the Cubs on Monday, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.

Impact Chirinos began the season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and slashed .278/.422/.556 with three home runs, six RBI and six runs in 13 games. He was away from the minor-league club for several weeks in June to play with the Venezuelan national team, and he'll land a major-league contract a day after he was let go by the Yankees. The 37-year-old will serve as the Cubs' backup catcher after Taylor Gushue was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Mets decline options on Ramos, Chirinos and Frazier

The Mets have declined 2021 options on catchers Wilson Ramos and Robinson Chirinos and on infielder Todd Frazier, allowing all three to become eligible for free agency

OCTOBER 28, 2020 • Associated Press

Option declined The Mets will decline Chirinos' $6.5 million team option for 2021, making him a free agent, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact New York heads into the offseason without either of its top two catchers from 2020 on the 40-man roster, as Wilson Ramos also had his $10 million team option declined. After coming over in a Aug. 31 trade with the Rangers, Chirinos and Ramos essentially split work behind the plate over the final month of the season. Between his stops in Texas and New York, the 36-year-old slashed .162/.232/.243 over 82 plate appearances. Given his age and declining production at the plate, Chirinos may not receive the opportunity to serve as a No. 1 catcher for any team in 2021.

Powers offense from No. 9 spot Chirinos went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Nationals.

Impact Chirinos was the one to break through against Patrick Corbin, launching a two-run homer in the fifth, his first long ball of the season. The backstop followed up with an RBI single in the sixth, accounting for all of the Mets' scoring in the game. The highlights have been few and far between for Chirinos between Texas and New York, as evidenced by the fact his OPS is still below .500. He's a free agent after this season.

Splitting work with Ramos Chirinos will start at catcher and will bat ninth Monday against the Phillies.

Impact Chirinos has now alternated starts behind the dish with Wilson Ramos in the Mets' six games since joining the team Monday in a deadline-day deal with the Rangers. The two veteran backstops appear poised to work in a timeshare moving forward, as Mets manager Luis Rojas was reluctant to name either Ramos or Chirinos as the team's No. 1 catcher Monday, according to David Lennon of Newsday. Chirinos went 2-for-6 with a double and an RBI over his first two starts with the Mets.

AUGUST 31, 2020 • MLB.COM

Traded to Mets The Mets acquired Chirinos and cash from the Rangers on Monday in exchange for a player to be named later, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Impact Chirinos recently returned from the injured list and split time with Jeff Mathis in Texas over the past six games. It's unclear whether Chirinos will serve as the primary catcher for the Mets, especially since he's sputtered to a .119 batting average with two RBI over 14 games. Jose Trevino and Mathis should see an uptick in playing time for the Rangers going forward.
