With Wilson Ramos in the final year of his deal, the Nats may have a problem at catcher going forward after this season.
It’s no secret that the Washington Nationals have a less than ideal catcher situation, in both the majors and the minors. Of course, injuries put a dent in flexibility at the position; Ramos played 128 games last season and Jose Lobaton played 44. But much of the mess stems from Wilson Ramos’ consistently below-average performance.
The 2010 trade that sent Matt Capps and pitching prospect Jose Testa to the Twins for Ramos seemed like a steal at the time.
