After three years with the San Diego Padres, four years with the Los Angeles Dodgers and a one-year stint with the Milwaukee Brewers, Yasmani Grandal will make his American League debut with the Chicago White Sox as the No. 1 catcher in our preseason power rankings.
Granted, a big part of that decision was rooted in the fact that his backup (James McCann) is much better/more established than the backups for any of the other viable candidates for the top spot. But one could reasonably put Grandal ahead of the likes of J.T. Realmuto and Gary Sanchez without giving any thought to the depth charts.
