The San Francisco Giants do not have a clear backup catcher heading into the 2020 season, and that situation was complicated even further when it was revealed that one of the favorite for the job, Aramis Garcia, could miss up to eight months following hip surgery.
Could that injury open the door for top prospect Joey Bart?
Prior to the injury, Garcia was considered the favorite because he had the longest track record of all the candidates vying for the backup job. He is also capable of playing first base, which no doubt makes him valuable in the eyes of Farhan Zaidi who prizes versatility.
