It's all about flying under the radar
If we wanted an old backup catcher, why not keep Sandy?
In the end, this will not factor in a single win or loss this season.
BTW, IMHO, Widger will not be here in July. This could be a giant :finger wakeup call for Davis.
I've heard other teams didn't want to claim Davis not only because of his injury, but because they don't think he can handle being a backup instead of a starter.
And Sandy's got nothing left, he was brutal defensively behind the plate, perhaps Widger is an upgrade on Burke on that regard? Although, in 2002, Widger threw out 6 of 18 runners and had a CERA of 4.39, while Burke last season threw out 8 of 19 runners and had a CERA of 4.78.
