The Houston Astros have a big decision to make with the catcher situation. One of the most tenured players on the team, Jason Castro, is set to become a free agent at the conclusion of the World Series. The Astros have created a backup plan by converting Evan Gattis back to catcher, but he only has one year left of control. Gattis has a team option of $5.2 million, which I’m sure the Astros will pick up.
While Gattis held his own in 2016 behind the plate, he struggled at times with passed balls.
