I’m sure the Cards would not want to deal him to the Pirates, but if Fryer becomes a free agent the Bucs should be all over him. Cervelli is still out, Eric Kratz simply cannot hit, Chris Stewart is banged up and can’t catch everyday, and the next option is Jacob Stallings, who last I saw was hitting below .200 in AAA. Fryer is familiar with the Pirates and at least adequate defensively.

He’s a very solid defender, but his AVG and contact won’t keep up. If he plays on a regular basis, his bat won’t really be a factor. For the Pirates tho, they pretty much need any quality Catching they can get until Cervelli comes off the DL.

Exactly, and however poorly Fryer’s bat plays, it plays better than Kratz’s.

Blue Jays should take this guy. Adds a decent bat to the bench.

I can’t believe Fryer can’t stick as a backup catcher in the majors. Handling the pitching staff while giving your everyday catcher a game off for a day game or rough travel day is top priority for the position. I loves Pena’s enthusiasm when he plays, but he looks to be barely adequate as a receiver.

Tribe could use a catcher with gomes struggling

Time to cut AJ! Braves better claim him if he goes to waivers

He’s solid. Probably only slightly less than Pena. But anyone that is back up St. Louis will get a very small work detail. Last I saw Molina had caught 50 more innings than the second most.

It’s not every day you hit .368 and get DFA’ed.
