It was sort of a given that the Texas Rangers would end up parting ways with their former All-Star catcher Jonah Heim during the offseason. Therefore, when. it did happen it wasn't a shock but it still meant having to fill yet another hole in the roster.
Heim's departure left just Kyle Higashioka as the team's catcher and with no true backup sitting in the minor leagues, the Rangers will have to explore external candidates.
That could lead to several names on the free agent market but it could also be beneficial for Texas to call up the Miami Marlins front office and inquire about their wealth of backstops, which for the most part are up and coming.
