The day they traded for him I was fine with him as a rental. Then the next day happened where they traded Madrigal basically guaranteeing they pick up that option for next year. I'm pretty meh about him and think maybe someone from our system should play 2B instead (Romy).
The good news is if he is a guy that needs high leverage situations (not that I actually buy this shit), every inning in the playoffs should be considered "high leverage" and he should be fine.
Right now with a 3-man bench and thinking that Grandal is going to (likely) get some DH at bats, maybe they role with 3 catchers for what, a week?
edit: actually, less if he comes back for the Cubs series.
Short bench unfortunately. Also stings we don’t have a legit CF on the bench right now so we are stuck with Goodwin as the backup.
edit: just saw that Billy Hamilton is starting a rehab assignment today!
I keep going back and forth on this for who I want as the 4th guy out of Cease and Keuchel. Might be better off having 3 starters and your best 10 relievers on the roster and having a bullpen game game 4.
