Show Notes

Connor Wong, a veteran catcher with the Boston Red Sox, is favored to secure the backup catcher role behind starter Carlos Narvaez. Despite a slow start in spring training, Wongs past offensive performance and positive feedback from manager Alex Cora and Red Sox insider Ian Browne give him an edge. However, competitors Matt Thaiss, Mickey Gasper, and Jason Delay are also making a case for the position. The final roster cuts are approaching, with the season opener against the Cincinnati Reds on March 26th.
