Throughout the offseason there have been trade rumors swirling around Pittsburgh Pirates’ catcher Francisco Cervelli. Despite all of the rumors, for now, Cervelli remains a Pirate with the start of Spring Training now just 33 days away.
Teams such as the Houston Astros, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Mets, and Philadelphia Phillies have all been linked to Cervelli this offseason. Some of these teams have gone on to address their catching situation, while others have not. So, a potential trade market for Cervelli still exists.
This market changed some on Wednesday when the Milwaukee Brewers signed Yasmani Grandal to a one-year contract.
