With Stephen Vogt becoming a free agent after coming off shoulder surgery, the Milwaukee Brewers are a little short on big league experience in their catching ranks. Should they look for an outside upgrade, the free agent market is likely to provide the best options.
Here are some of the top free agent catchers based on last season’s Wins Above Replacement (WAR) statistic (provided by Baseball Reference).
Yasmani Grandal
Many Brewers fans will remember Grandal as the catcher that had several miscues behind the plate during the NLCS. When you look further into his stats, he has shown to be a good hitting catcher over the last few years.
