10/08/24 | Red Sox have a fixable dilemma at catcher heading into 2025. According to Chris Cotillo, the Boston Red Sox have a dilemma; what to do at the catcher position. With the arrival of catcher prospect Kyle Teel coming in early 2025, they need to figure out what to do with their current starting catcher, Connor Wong. Teel was tearing it up in the minors this season, with a .288 average, 13 homers, 23 doubles, and an .819 OPS between AA and AAA. Wong this season was also a good hitter, something most catchers are not. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/boston-red-sox... |

Trade deadline acquisition Danny Jansen is a free agent, Tyler Heineman, who spent most of his year in Triple-A, was claimed off waivers by the Blue Jays, and Reese McGuire elected free agency on Sept. 30.
