OTM Open Thread 1/16: A New Catcher
Briefly

The Red Sox acquired Blake Swihart Sabol from the San Francisco Giants for international bonus pool cash. As a backup catcher, he provides depth.
Catcher is a position requiring specialized skills; adding depth is preferable to relying on less experienced players like Rob Refsnyder.
Questions arise about whether the Sox will pursue additional free agents and whether Jack Flaherty might consider a one-year deal to bolster the rotation.
Fans are asked who they look forward to seeing play in 2025, with Devers, Duran, and Houck highlighted as key players.
