Now onto the News, Rumors, and Commentary…

“Stallings moved into the number-one position in 2020, and since then he’s risen to the challenge. He did have a .994 fielding percentage and a 26% caught stealing percentage, but he only played a third of the games that Stallings did. Whatever woes the 2021 Pirates had—and there were many of them—one they did not have was at the catcher position. DFAing Perez would be somewhat on the stupid side at this point—like it or not, you need a backup catcher.”
