Not a big fan of this Patrick Bailey trade. Getting rid of the best defensive catcher in baseball because two prospects have combined for 10 good games with the bat while remaining extremely unproven defensively could end up looking idiotic within weeks

McCovey Chronicles13Then again, if it doesn’t look idiotic, you got a first round pick and a prospect while also upgrading the position. But it’s a huge risk, and one I’m not comfortable with
Kelly Miller4I wonder about the two PHIL losses last week in which he called for 7 straight splits to Schwarber and 8 sinkers to Stot, finally giving up tying hits to both. When your value is entirely on the defensive side that seems like a major demerit.
