It wasn't that long ago that the Toronto Blue Jays catching depth was the crown jewel of their system. Between Danny Jansen, Alejandro Kirk and Gabriel Moreno, the Blue Jays were in a great position considering the talent they had, lining it up with their competitive window. But they also soon faced a cross-roads. Only one guy can catch every day, and with needs at other positions, and free agency looming, the Blue Jays pulled the trigger in a series of moves.
It was only a matter of hours before Sánchez found a new landing spot. The Mets placed Francisco Alvarez on the injured list this week. He's dealing with a thumb injury that'll require surgery at some point, though he and the team are holding out hope that can be delayed until the offseason. That leaves them with a catching duo of Luis Torrens and Hayden Senger.
