There’s nothing much to see here, but I want to use the titular rumor to springboard into the recent discussion about Kris Bryant. First, let’s talk about the latest on Willson Contreras, which is that the Angels may still be interested in acquiring his services.
According to Fansided’s Robert Murray, Anaheim has “explored additional upgrades at catcher” and has continued to monitor both Contreras and Boston’s Christian Vázquez. Joe Maddon‘s club has incumbent backstop Max Stassi and signed Kurt Suzuki to a one-year deal already this offseason, but Stassi is recovering from hip labrum surgery and isn’t much of a difference-maker even when healthy.
