It was reported today by Buster Olney of ESPN that there has been some interest in Boston Red Sox catcher Sandy Leon. While the Red Sox do need to relieve themselves of a catcher, Leon isn’t the one that should be moved. The three-headed dragon that was the Boston catching unit worked in 2018 but it isn’t something that can be sustained long term.
Leon has been with the Red Sox since 2015 and has become a rock behind the plate for the pitching staff. He’s even become the favored catcher of choice for lefty ace Chris Sale.
