I say tht because with apparent satisfaction the team seem to have with Narvaez and Smith I would doubt if they do anything with Soto until September 4th when rosters increase. Then he may not not have a place here in 2018
August 22, 20178 yr Forgot he was even on the team, rather than Brantly this is probably your Sept 3rd catcher.

The thing is, Rob Brantly has earned another shot. I looked up his numbers after he destroyed us (Lehigh Valley) a couple weeks ago -- he's running like a 140 wRC+ or something.

At this point, I think he's just a good AAA catcher/potential ok MLB backup, regardless of how well he hits in the minors.

I'd rather see if Brantly can be a platoon piece than give pending FA journeyman Soto ABs in September. The only reason I can think of to play Soto is to do him a favor to show he's healthy going into FA.
