But why?

So Lee is hurt.

Surprised he’s getting the call already, considering he just turned 22.

Salas could be up with the Padres at 19-20...you're ready or you're not according to development people.

Plus all the Latin kids playing constantly since 13-14 years old.  Different comp to US timeframes.

Jesus dude. Go find a Padres fan forum.

The Sox, under their current owner, are cheap and need to extend their prospects’ timelines.  Every year of control matters.

Because he is playing well? What’s wrong with this?

Our catchers on pace for 6 fWAR. We should be getting something for one of them, if they DFA Lee to bring him up it makes no sense. Catcher is the least of our worries right now.

Fegan with the confirmation

There was a relatively positive injury update for Lee earlier today, so I'm curious how they'll handle things.

Maybe they are going to?

I don't know exactly how much leeway we have with the IL for Lee. I guess that allows them some wiggle room for at least two weeks. So yea, get him up here.

Omar Narvaez in his prime offensively is one of the best comps...kind of ironic he's now back with the Sox at the very end of his career, with Quero perhaps taking over his spot, essentially.

He's the youngest legit catching prospect higher than A ball...so if we're worried about age 22 preparedness?

At least Quero has the bloodline with his cousin in the Brewers' org.

Weird I’m comping him with Buster Posey mixed with Joe Mauer.

PECOTA Matt Wieters.

So happy for him. Good player. Seems like a good dude.

They put Lee on the IL a week ago. Right away, at least.

So Omar Narvaez gets his start tonight, only to be DFA’ed tomorrow?

Wouldn’t be shocked if it was Maton. 

Hopefully, Colson’s last couple games are a sign of him getting hot and he is next.  Needs to cut down on those strikeouts.

Meidroth, Quero, and C. Montgomery in the lineup would make games a lot more enjoyable to watch.

Would make sense if they want to go with three catchers and give Quero plenty of time at DH.

Awesome. Love Quero.

DH or.............................1B?
