I’m happy with our catcher situation. Sure not giving up Cam for a catcher we won’t be able to retain long term.
Obviously trading is a negotiation. How do people feel if it's bryce Matthews instead ? I really like both Smith and Matthews , so I probably wouldn't do it . I suppose that could be tabled for off-season . If Dana brown has his eye on any elite minor league catchers that are blocked on contenders I'd want to know the price . I don't actually hate or blame yainer . I think he's a hard worker who has a good natural bat to ball tool , but he doesn't have a great approach and/or struggles to pick up pitches. Baseball is hard . There is more to say he's going to be a below avg hitting catcher than above average given his trend. If move on . Maybe we can find a better complement to Vasquez Diaz Mayer Sullivan Does Baltimore need a CF ? LMAO can do jake meyers .
I’m pretty close to out on Yainer as a starting catcher until he shows he can get his bat back. He needs to be sent down if he doesn’t mash during his rehab assignment. I’d absolutely be down to extend Vazquez. I’m also interested to see how Schiavone does over the 2nd half of the season. He might be in position to be up early next year.
