No offense to Josh Thole and the role he served over the past few seasons, but the workload of Russell Martin will be much easier to monitor with the addition of Jarrod Saltalamacchia to the team.
Saltalamacchia or “Salty” will certainly be the Blue Jays backup catcher in 2017 despite the people who thought that Juan Graterol or Reese McGuire could walk out of the spring with the job. Salty is the guy in my mind and the consensus backup catcher by many.
