Detroit Tigers catchers have been up and down this season—this much is true. However with James McCann just 26-years-old and Jarrod Saltalamacchia showing well in limited playing time, the team is likely set for the present and future.
Then the news came out that the Tigers were reportedly interested in Milwaukee catcher Johnathan Lucroy. The report came from Fox Sports’ Ken Rosenthal, who tweeted, “Sources: The #Tigers are one of the teams talking to the #Brewers about Johnathan Lucroy.”
The appeal with Lucroy is obvious. One of the better defensive catchers in the game, the 30-year-old is also a force at the dish.
