Washington Nationals Rumors: Backup catcher? Partner for Yan Gomes? J.T. Realmuto? What are the Nats looking for?

Between Yan Gomes and Kurt Suzuki, the duo started 220 of 222 games for Washington’s Nationals over the past two seasons, but with Suzuki now a free agent, and Gomes under contract for 2021, the 2019 World Series champs have been rumored to be looking to do something this offseason to bolster their catching corps.

James McCann just signed with the New York Mets, agreeing on a 4-year/$40M deal. J.T. Realmuto is the top catcher on the free agent market. There other options out there, like Suzuki if they want to take a chance on the 37-year-old backstop, but how the Nationals want to address their catching situations is a big factor in where they turn.
