Kansas City Royals fans can rejoice in knowing that the beloved all-star, Gold Glove, Silver Slugger, catcher, Salvador Perez, will be back behind home plate for the 2020 season. After sitting out for all of 2019 recovering from Tommy John surgery, Perez will hopefully get back to work, calling great games and hitting into the stands.
When thinking about a positional battle that may take place for the Royals in spring training, it’s likely that many fans wouldn’t think about the catcher’s spot first. This is understandable, as there is nobody in line to take Salvy’s spot.
