Yermín Mercedes is a delightful human being, which makes it doubly hard to admit that he’s the odd man out in the four- or five-headed catcher hydra at the top of the White Sox organization.
Starter Yasmani Grandal wants to play 850 games per season, so he is going to shoulder the heavy load behind the plate, as the White Sox have paid him to.
