David Lesky considers trading Freddy Fermin.

It makes some sense because the Royals have Luca Tresh close to ready to be a backup catcher in the big leagues. Aside from him, they have Jensen working his way through the system and Mitchell not far behind him. There should theoretically be a market for a guy like Fermin, who is an outstanding defender, has a track record of hitting well enough to start (as long as the last two months were a fluke) and is pretty inexpensive while he has plenty of team control.

I can think of only a handful of teams that wouldn’t be interested in Fermin as someone to catch at least half the games.
