As good as the Dodgers are at developing pitchers, they might be even better at developing catchers.
With Smith locked up, the Dodgers open the door for trading some of that talent.
Cartaya could see himself included in a trade package, leveraging his high ceiling for a high-level major-league player.
This timeline does not align with the Smith extension, making Cartaya more likely to be traded.
