The Boston Red Sox have developed a pattern of acquiring catchers who previously played for the Toronto Blue Jays. Since 2022, they have traded for Reese McGuire, Tyler Heineman, and Danny Jansen, all of whom have connections to Toronto. Most recently, Boston claimed Ali Sánchez off waivers, bringing the total to four ex-Jays catchers in their organization within four years. Sánchez had been a minor-league player with Toronto and performed modestly, leading to his designation for assignment before the Red Sox acquisition.
In 2022, the Red Sox acquired Reese McGuire from the Chicago White Sox at the trade deadline, marking their first move for a former Blue Jays catcher in recent years.
Ali Sánchez, who was claimed off waivers by the Red Sox, represents the latest in a series of acquisitions of former Blue Jays catchers, totaling four over four years.
