The Chicago White Sox have landed one of the best catchers on the market this offseason, by signing Yasmani Grandal to a four-year, $73 million deal on Thursday.
In a free agency class thin on backstops, the Havana, Cuba native stood out after putting together the second All-Star season of his career in 2019 as a member of the Brewers. Grandal hit .246 with 28 home runs, 77 RBIs and an OBP of .380 while appearing in 153 games (the most of any catcher). No slouch at the plate, Grandal was even better behind it as one of the best pitch framers in MLB since debuting in 2014 according to FanGraphs.
