If you look at the catcher position on the A's depth chart right now, there are two names: Sean Murphy and Austin Allen.
Both are rookies and have a combined 54 games of MLB experience.
So it would make sense for the A's to pursue a veteran backstop to split time with Murphy, one of the A's top prospects, who figures to be the opening day starter.
That veteran catcher appears to be Matt Wieters, who is drawing interest from the A's and St. Louis Cardinals, The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal reported Saturday, citing sources.
