Along with Jon Lester, came David Ross, his catcher during his Boston days. Ross has caught Lester for most of his starts for the Chicago Cubs so far. Now that Ross is retired, how will the Cubs handle Lester’s starts behind the plate for the next four years?
Willson Contreras, the Cubs top prospect, came up this year and caught about 60% of the games so far during his time in the big leagues. Contreras has an absolute rifle back there, he’s good defensively, but the one knock on him was his receiving skill, which is more improved.
