The Red Sox's trade for pitcher Garrett Crochet seemed to set Connor Wong up as the starting catcher. However, the unexpected acquisition of Carlos Narváez from the Yankees quickly shifted dynamics. Despite initial skepticism, Narváez has outperformed expectations, showcasing impressive offensive and defensive stats, including leading major league catchers in defensive runs saved. He has quickly become a key player for the Red Sox, culminating in a solid start and significant contributions to the team as they navigate the season.
Narváez, whose solo homer late Tuesday opened the scoring in a 2-0 victory, is now hitting .280 with seven doubles, five homers and an .812 OPS in 35 games.
The Red Sox, out of nowhere, might have an all-around breakout star behind the plate, and he's getting rewarded with playing time.
