What is the long term plan at catcher for the Red Sox?

With the Red Sox trading for C/OF Blake Sabol from the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday, it seems likely that they are done adding at that position ahead of the 2025 season. Depending on how the first half of the season unfolds, they may consider adding again near the trade deadline, but the team will likely go into camp with Connor Wong as the starter and a battle for backup between Sabol and Carlos Narvaez.

Considering the Red Sox’ depth of infielders, both on the current roster and in the minors, it might have made more sense for the Sox to send a package built around shortstop Marcelo Mayer in exchange for Garrett Crochet, rather than catcher Kyle Teel.
