Move some of the catching depth
The Toronto Blue Jays have a problem that most teams would love to have – they have four major league caliber catchers and not enough room for all of them.
This puts the Blue Jays in a prime position to make a trade. Plenty of teams are looking for help behind the plate, and the options available in free agency are not exactly appealing. Yan Gomes may be the best option on the market, but he is not exactly a given as a starter.
Meanwhile, the Blue Jays do have holes to fill. As mentioned previously, they could use another piece in the rotation, help in the bullpen, and an infielder. That surplus of young, talented catchers could help to fill at least one of those holes.
There are already several rumors about a potential trade. The Marlins are looking to move some of their arbitration eligible pitchers to make room for the next wave of young arms. A deal between the two teams could work.
Plenty of teams are looking for help behind the plate. The Toronto Blue Jays’ riches at the catcher position could allow them to upgrade in a variety of areas.
