How do you solve a problem like AAA backup catchers? How do you catch a cat, and box it down? I do not know if Erwin Schrödinger was ever a fan of baseball, but I do know I will always think of his feline based theoretical concepts when having to weigh the potential value of a player who may, or may not, see any playing time in the coming season (the last player to have me evoke the physicist was Evan White). Enter, Blake Hunt. Or rather, re-enter.
Hunt first joined the Mariner’s organization in the off-season before 2024, coming over in a trade when Seattle sent C Tatem Levins to the Rays.
