If you’ve been with us all offseason, you know our thoughts on Jorge Alfaro. The Miami backstop, while possessing true-blue raw power in his bat, has some questionable tendencies regarding plate discipline.
As of right now, the team expects to have Chad Wallach as their backup catcher entering the 2021 season, and though most teams don’t necessarily expect much contributions offensively from their second-string backstop, Wallach has played just 34 games in two seasons with Miami.
Should the team be hesitant on allotting the full-time backup reigns to Wallach, several cost-effective options are available for the taking to supplement Alfaro in the catching tandem.
