The Marlins designated catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia for assignment Monday and there are now reports five teams are interested in the struggling catcher. The Angels weren’t listed as one of those teams, but it’s safe to assume they would at least be a little intrigued — Angel catchers have posted a 10 wRC+ this year (!!!!!!!!), the worst production in baseball (duh). Remember, a 100 wRC+ is average.
Chris Iannetta has been run over by the regression train, posting a .176 wOBA just a year after having one of the best offensive campaigns of his career.
