In a recent press conference, Seattle Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said the team will use both Luis Torrens and Tom Murphy behind the dish. Dipoto reiterated how good Tom Murphy was in 2019, but at the same time, the team acquired Luis Torrens from the San Diego Padres for a reason.
There is nothing wrong with having two good catchers on your roster. Both can produce in the batter’s box, and both have their areas of expertise behind the dish.
