I would include Austin Romine (Yankees) on this list as well. Hitting .276/.337/.427 in AAA still only 26 years old. Not that he would have much value but having someone who is reportedly great defensively along with some MLB experience has to better then some of the options at backup C today in the bigs.
Steve Adams
Ah! He’s supposed to be on there. I briefly addressed him in the paragraph portion of the “Currently in the Minors” section, but forgot to list him with the other names. Fixing now. Thanks.

Tony Sanchez should be mentioned in the “Currently in the Minors”. He hasn’t lived up to his first round hype, but he could be a serviceable major league catcher. He has no place in Pittsburgh with Cervelli and Stewart signed through next year, and Elias Diaz and Reese McGuire on the way up.
Steve Adams
I initially considered Sanchez but skipped him because I don’t think his value is all that high. But, I can’t really claim that I think Romine, Stassi and Kottaras have more value than him (especially not the latter of that trio), so I added him at the end.

Sandy Leon. With Hannigan back and Swihart on the DL, what happens to Leon when Swihart comes back? Leon’s throw out rate is ridiculous.

I like Leon in spite of the low batting average. Swihart should go back to AAA and get the time he needed down there to begin with (remember, he was “rushed” to the majors after Hannigan and Vasquez went down). He’s only 45 minutes away if they need him.

How about a deal including Plawecki and a few pitching prospects (not Syndergaard or Matz) for Justin Upton?

The Padres don’t need another catcher..

Hal McCoy reported that an unidentified American league scout was in Cincinnati to watch Tucker Barnhart. I’d be surprised if the Reds moved him, as Mesoraco is out and Ramon Cabrera at Louisville appears to be the only option as a backup to Brayan Pena.

The only reason Navarro isn’t a starting catcher this year is that they acquired Russell Martin, who would push most of the catchers in MLB into a backup role. He should be listed as a starter in your list.

Brewers aren’t listening on Lucroy. He’s the face of their franchise and has no heir apparent. Team is 19-14 since June 1, the date he returned from the DL. Management is still pondering their plan for 2016 and 2017 in light of recent hot streak. A complete rebuild that dealing Lucroy would represent is not in the cards.

The Crew would deal him to Texas for Gallo, but that’s the only match I could imagine with the teams listed above.

d’Arnaud ‘may’ be the favored long-term option? He most definitely *is* the favored long-term option, unless he suffers an injury that renders him incapable of playing the position.

With Wieters almost certainly leaving via free agency after this season I doubt the Orioles will move Clevenger.. He will be given every opportunity to earn playing time next year.. Navarro may still see himself as an everyday catcher but with several teams clearly needing an upgrade and very few rumors circulating about him, it appears other teams do not.. The D-Backs went after Salty and Castillo instead of him which makes me wonder if I am missing something..

What about Martin Maldando
