Yeah to me it seems that they are banking on Garver to have a bounce back season and they have zero faith in Harry Ford taking a big jump this year.Me too. This surprised me. Maybe he passes through waivers, but it seems odd just to add a 5th catcher you traded already.
I’m not sure on the lease but I’m assuming renovations will be coming up soon. I think it was like 2017 or 2018 when the last ones were. And Manfred is taking every offseason to threaten a few teams.It's a good thought. I wonder what the contract says and how much longer it has till it expires.
