Cubs free agent target: Kyle Higashioka
Warning! Warning!
I’m writing this article even though it’s going to be about a catcher who has just had a career year at age 34.
That should bring up all the possible red flags. You know that the Cubs just had a catcher who had a spectacular year at age 36, not a career year but one of his better ones, prompting Jed Hoyer to exercise a contract option on Yan Gomes, who promptly had 34 of the worst games of his life in 2024, leading to his release.
Could the same thing happen to Kyle Higashioka? Yes, absolutely, positively.
But let’s look at him anyway.
