Who’s the backup catcher in 2019?

The Giants have added multiple players this offseason who can play multiple positions but none of them exceptionally well, and yet, none of them could be the backup catcher. That means there’s still the possibility that Farhan Zaidi & co look to upgrade one more roster spot before locking in the roster for its 70-92 season.

Aramis Garcia showed that he could play first base a little bit in very limited action and he hit four home runs in 19 games, but those were (nearly) all September games, which technically count in the season record but should be 100% discounted when planning the next season.
