Not every move this time of year is going to move the needle a ton, but its still interesting to see what other teams are valuing as the season draws to an end.
The Braves recently made a waiver claim on Rene Rivera of the Angels to make their catching corps a bit deeper once rosters expand at the beginning of December. This will enable the Braves to use Tyler Flowers or Kurt Suzuki in pinch-hitting situations without leaving them without a catcher if the need arises.
However, Rivera’s arrival means that Chris Stewart, who has filled the role of Triple-A catcher that can come up in a pinch, does not really have a role with the team anymore.
