Episode Details

Pirates cut Christian Bethancourt to make room for Konnor Griffin, exposing a glaring catcher depth crisis — with only two catchers on the 40-man roster and injuries already forcing moves like trading Joey Bart and sidelining Endy Rodríguez. Henry Davis and Rafael Flores Jr. are the current options, but both have flaws — Davis struggles offensively, Flores’ defense is unproven. The team’s hoping they stay healthy, but if not, younger prospects like Herrera, Berg, and Barstad could be called up — though none are ready for MLB. This roster move signals a major offseason priority: fixing the catching position.
