CHICAGO -- Kevin Cash told reporters before Tuesday night's game that the catching job is wide open heading into next season. He added: "It's no secret. We're looking for somebody to take off and be that complete player, offensively, defensively, lead our pitching staff."

Curt Casali then went out and put his best foot forward in the Rays' 13-6 loss to the White Sox by going 2-for-4 with a home run and a hustling double.

Currently, the catching appears to be in a good place with Casali, Bobby Wilson and Luke Maile forming a trio that not only handles pitching well, but are all friends and good teammates.
