Baltimore Orioles: Unpacking the current catching situation

After the Baltimore Orioles released Caleb Joseph, fans in Birdland were left wondering how the O’s would address the catching situation in Baltimore. Would the Orioles look outside the organization and sign a veteran free-agent? Would they save their money and look for an internal solution?

Well, the Orioles have signed two free-agent catchers this offseason but neither has the clout one might have expected a few months ago. Does this mean that Mike Elias and the Orioles have faith in Chance Sisco establishing himself as the primary catcher in Baltimore?

Sisco struggled during his time in the majors last year and as a result, the Orioles shuttled him back and forth between Baltimore and Triple-A Norfolk for much of the season.
