The Pittsburgh Pirates are inching closer to Opening Day, which means that they need to finalize their roster before the season.
A few spots are up for grabs, including the backup catcher role. MLB.com reporter Alex Stumpf delved into the competition between Henry Davis and Endy Rodriguez for the job.
Joey Bart is going to be part of the Pirates’ catching equation this year, but his Opening Day partner is still up for grabs. Henry Davis has been drilling the ball to all fields this spring, a very welcome change after becoming too pull-heavy in 2024, and Endy Rodríguez has been catching up after missing last year.
