The 32-year-old Joseph played five seasons with Baltimore and is ninth among all active catchers with a caught-stealing percentage of 29.4. He threw out 32.2 per cent of attempted base stealers last season and tied for the major league lead with 11 double plays.

Joseph is a career .224 hitter with 31 homers and 122 RBIs.

Walker is recovering from Tommy John surgery after tearing his right ulnar collateral ligament last April against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
