It was an interesting situation that brought catcher Carter Bins to the Pittsburgh Pirates. When Ben Cherington went to trade Tyler Anderson, a deal was originally made to send the lefty to the Philadelphia Phillies, but it fell through.
They eventually sent Anderson to Seattle, which netted the Pirates Bins.
Known more for his defensive work, Bins has struggled at the plate since joining the Pirates but also took a slight step back behind the plate in 2022.
Bins entered this past season with a caught stealing rate of 24%, but struggled to throw out base runners between his stops at Altoona and Indianapolis — catching people at just a 13% rate.
