The Rockies need an impact catcher

In their 27 seasons of existence, not counting 2020 because of a shortened All-Star Game-less season (and also because let’s try to forget 2020), the Rockies have never had an All-Star catcher. The Rockies have sent 25 outfielders to the Midsummer Classic, nine pitchers (the surprisingly second-highest total), eight shortstops, eight third basemen, seven first basemen, and three second baseman. Zero catchers.

The Rockies have had the starting catcher have a negative WAR eight times in franchise history, including four times in the last seven years (Tony Wolters in 2020 and 2017, Chris Iannetta in 2018, and Wilin Rosario in 2014).
