If Jonathan Lucroy cannot find a job this winter, will Yasmani Grandal be able to find one next winter?
Grandal, the Dodgers catcher, is making $7.9 million this season, his last before free agency. Lucroy, a two-time All-Star catcher, is unemployed amid this winter's free-agent freeze.
"I wouldn't want to be in his spot," Grandal said Thursday. "He's put up numbers. He obviously deserves to get his contract done.
Welington Castillo signed with the Baltimore Orioles for two years and $15 million. None of the other four free-agent catchers to sign major league contracts got even $5 million per season.
