After losing Connor Wong to an injury, the Red Sox quickly signed Yasmani Grandal to a minor league contract. Currently, they are fielding rookies Carlos Narvaez and Blake Sabol, both struggling at the plate and defensively. With a lack of viable free agents on the market, including underperforming catchers like Seby Zavala, the team is facing hurdles in finding a capable catcher for the season. The situation emphasizes the complexities teams face with ensuring depth behind the plate in an injury-prone position.
Having lost Connor Wong to a broken finger, the Red Sox quickly signed veteran Yasmani Grandal to a minor league deal, keeping future options open behind the plate.
At present, the Sox are relying on rookie Carlos Narvaez and DFA pickup Blake Sabol, both of whom have struggled defensively and offensively.
With few viable free agent catchers available, the organization's most experienced option beyond Grandal, Seby Zavala, is also underperforming in Triple-A.
The Red Sox's situation illustrates the challenges in finding reliable catching depth, especially considering the rest of the unsigned catchers performed poorly.
