Don’t be shocked if Cubs rumors begin to swirl in the coming days. The team lost their hot-hitting backup catcher this month and have been riding Willson Contreras in a big way since.
One thing seems certain right now, Contreras cannot play nearly every day when the stretches of few-to-no off days come. He has been doing all of the catching outside of Saturday night’s game since Victor Caratini broke a bone in his hand. The Cubs called up Taylor Davis, and he has made one start and caught a total of 11 innings in his time up so far.
