Jake Rogers, the Detroit Tigers’ 24-year-old catcher of the future, is penciled in as the starter behind the plate for the foreseeable future. But who will back him up in 2020? A pair of potential candidates are set to battle for the spot once the rosters expand this September.
Those two candidates appear to be John Hicks, who’s currently on the 25-man roster, and Grayson Greiner, who began the year as the Tigers’ starting catcher but now resides in Toledo. He’s a given to be called up once the Detroit Tigers expand their roster.
