Washington Nationals: Catching options dwindling

The Washington Nationals‘ catching tandem of Matt Wieters and Jose Lobaton ranked among the worst in the league in 2017, which has led to them being in the market for a catcher this off-season. Wieters remains with the team, and is owed $10.5 million in 2018, so he will be difficult to trade, but they are interested in at least acquiring a new back-up.

As things currently stand, Pedro Severino and Raudy Read are gearing up for a Spring Training competition to determine who will serve as Wieters’ back-up.
