Examining some trade fits for Omar Narváez

While the Hot Stove has yet to rise above tepid, one area where there’s some activity has been in the land of backstops. The White Sox snatched up the best catcher on the market in Yasmani Grandal, and Atlanta responded quickly to lock down...Travis d’Arnaud, a 1.6-win catcher per fWAR (1.0 per bWAR) who was DFA’d by the Mets earlier last season. As you might have inferred, the FA catcher market is suboptimal; Atlanta also re-upped with their second catcher, defensive whiz Tyler Flowers. That leaves Yan Gomes, Robinson Chirinos, and Jason Castro as the most desirable names atop a raft of defensive specialists and backups.
