The Atlanta Braves play against the Minnesota Twins in North Port, FL, featuring Chris Sale. Sean Murphy's cracked rib has resulted in heightened competition for backup catchers. With Chadwick Tromp and Drake Baldwin vying for a spot, the dynamics become complex due to service time rules, and Tromp's lack of options could mean losing him to waivers. Non-roster invitees like Curt Casali and Sandy León also enter the mix, making the catcher position number one to watch this spring training.
The Braves are facing new roster challenges due to Sean Murphy's injury, creating a competitive environment for other catchers to assert their place.
With roster dynamics at play, including service time manipulation and players lacking options, the competition for backup catcher is highly nuanced.
