I'm fine with Collins as backup catcher. Why not? We can't have the two best catchers in the AL every year. We should probably sign an AAAA 3rd catcher though.
I'm just going by the Ken Rosenthal article. He rejected being trade at the deadline. He presumably is accepting being traded now. TLR being the difference now.
Don't really get that take. They're above average offensively everywhere except right field. They can afford a down year from someone, if it does happen.
