Austin Barnes’ future is bright, but it might not be behind the plate

The Dodgers have baseball’s deepest catching corps. We’ve written about this before, and it will be on full display over the next 2-3 years.

Not all the guys who are currently in the organization will still be here in a year or two, which means there could be a bit of a crunch behind the dish.

The two incumbents are Austin Barnes and Yasmani Grandal. As well they should be. Barnes started 13 of 15 games in the postseason, which leads some to believe he has the inside track for the starting job in 2018.
