The situation behind the plate for the Red Sox is anything but clear. Between Sandy Leon, Christian Vazquez, and Blake Swihart they have three players competing for just two spots on the roster. The question that this all boils down to is who do they trust the most behind the plate?
The one thing that has been clear with the Red Sox and their hunt for an everyday catcher is the premium they put on defense. It’s why Blake Swihart moved to the outfield and why Christian Vazquez will always have a shot at the roster, so long as he can pick up a bat.
