Pro rata, the Mariners’ best full-time position player this year was a catcher. Austin Nola emerged as one of the league’s premier backstops, but was dealt at the season’s mid-point to the Padres as part of a massive prospect return. Once Nola departed, things took a leaner turn, as Tom Murphy looked on from the wilds of upstate New York, rehabbing his broken foot with March 2021 circled on his ancient Gaelic backyard sundial. Luis Torrens took over full-time catching duties after arriving in the Nola trade, joining Seattle’s one-two Joe combo of Joseph Odom and Joe Hudson.
