2021 Catcher Options

Part 3: Now for the position with a premium free agent, maybe the #1 free agent, available for the right price. Jays have kids. Lets see if the Jays should consider blowing a fortune on an upgrade.

Currently here....

  • Danny Jansen: entering age 26 season, 183/313/358, career now 208/297/370 80 OPS+, DRS (defensive runs saved via FanGraphs) of -4 this year after a +12 last year, -3 in 2018. So is Jansen a great defensive catcher or a poor one? Will he ever hit?
  • Alejandro Kirk: entering age 22, 375/400/583 in just 25 PA.
