He did hit a HR today against the great Chad Durbin!
Yes, I’m furious that Durbin actually has a job.

id like to see him traded for pitching and letting The Clever and Beef Wellington split catching duties

Welington* is nothing more than a Koyie Hill Prodigy.
Lastings
Wasn’t he considered to be a pretty decent prospect at one point?
Tyler 17
They have him ranked #13 and compare him to Yadier Molina but he has yet to put both his offense and defense games together to be consistent enough to be in the MLB.
Dont get me wrong, I would love to see him excel but how long will it take?

To be fair, if he hit OR fielded he would be better than Koyie Hill was.
David
He’s played three games this year and will be far superior to Hill. Sveum thinks he can be an all star
Tyler 17
Thinking and becoming are two totally different things.

So was Jarrod Saltalamacchia and mark Teagarden. One is league average and the other bounces back between retread status at AAA and backup at MLB.
Can’t picture Soto breaking any banks on the market, nor getting any multi year deal from the Cubs. Epstein is probably hoping he has one for decent season so he can unload him, rather than give him a raise over the 4.5m he’s already getting.. Just way to inconsistent thus far.
Boston probably looking to move Salty after this year also, only difference is he is making about half (2.5m) for doing the same thing.

If his BABIP picks up, I could see him getting traded at the deadline. He’s one of my favorite players, though, and I’d really like to see him be a part of the next contending Cubs team… I almost couldn’t say that last bit with a straight face.

Soto summarize, you’re not a huge fan 😉
Chris Headley
I am pretty sure the Rays wouldn’t deal for him, they are a leader in researching the values of pitch framing, and if they don’t like him on defense, they won’t try to get him.
David
He was great at framing last year I believe.

I think they are looking for a catcher of the future. Someone like Yasmani Grandal.
