Seemingly, there’s at least a little bit of controversy at the catcher spot for the Dodgers with each passing winter.
The good news about 2020, though, is the fact that Will Smith will hold down the primary catching spot heading into spring camp. Sure, he’s being criticized for his offensive drop-off during the final four weeks of the year, but for all intents and purposes, the starting job is his to lose. As it stands, it’s tough to argue otherwise, unless the Dodgers decide to make a huge acquisition this offseason in terms of a new backstop.
