There’s no competition at the catching position in Indians camp this spring.
Indians manager Terry Francona made it clear on Thursday that Yan Gomes is the club’s starting catcher, with Roberto Perez serving as the No. 2 option.
“No, we have two good catchers,” Francona told reporters in Goodyear, Ariz. “We’re fortunate to have two good catchers. Gomer’s been our catcher, just for different reasons, whether it’s been injuries, Roberto stepped in and really did a great job. So it’s my responsibility to make it work for both of them, and we will.”
By many accounts, Gomes had a disastrous 2016 season.
