Red Sox Shakeup: What Does Narvaez's Arrival Mean for Boston's Catching Depth?
Posted: Thu Jan 16, 2025 4:05 pm
With the recent trade of Carlos Narvaez to the Boston Red Sox, the dynamics of the catching position in Boston are heating up. Narvaez, who has been a backup catcher with the Yankees, is now in a competition with Blake Sabol for the backup role behind Connor Wong. This raises some intriguing questions for fantasy baseball enthusiasts.
What do you think this means for Narvaez's fantasy value? With a projected value of $0 in a 10-team AL-only league, is there any potential for him to surprise us this season? Could he carve out a niche as a reliable backup, or is he destined to remain a low-impact player?
On the flip side, how does this trade affect Blake Sabol? He was brought in to compete for the same spot, and with both players vying for limited playing time, it could lead to a situation where neither player is worth rostering in fantasy leagues.
Let’s not forget about Connor Wong, who is expected to be the starter. How do you see Wong's performance impacting the value of both Narvaez and Sabol? If Wong stays healthy and productive, will either backup even get a chance to shine?
Bold prediction time: I’m betting that Narvaez will outperform expectations and become a sneaky late-round pick in deeper leagues. What are your thoughts? Are you buying or selling on Narvaez and Sabol?
