Here is a thought: look at the stats. It might also help answer what you are missing to read Kevin Goldstein's chats during his short time...
Then you desperately need to see an Optometrist because your eyes are lying to you
Ken Rosenthal is the one who reported the information I was basing my comment on. He said "The plan is for him to be used as a “utility player,”...
They looked at Contreras because he could be the back-up catcher and still provide value as the DH/LF. They have been reported as having interest...

Has Verlander actually opted out yet?
They will probably claim that they won DESPITE him. Either way, I do not care, the Astros are the World Series Champions again!!!!
For his career, Zunino's OPS is below .700 and his wRC+ is 88. His 88 wRC+ places him in the bottom third of catchers since 2013, but it is above...
