It was about this time in Joe Mauer‘s career that he started to transition out of the full-time catcher role and into the everyday first baseman gig. Mauer dealt with a knee injury and concussion problems and in order to prolong his health and career, the Minnesota Twins moved him to first base prior to the 2014 season. The Kansas City Royals should consider doing something for Salvador Perez.
Perez, 29, missed the first month of the 2018 season with a knee injury that occurred at the end of Spring Training and has missed all of the 2019 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in March.
