He is having season ending wrist surgery for ligament and cartilage damage.
I guess Contreras is up for the remainder of the season. Hopefully he keeps up his good hitting.

This sucks. Not only do we lose a really good catcher, but it pretty much eliminates the option to move Contreras around.
Takes possibly most viable trade chip off the market as well.
Already testing our depth at catcher.
We already traded Lango.Quote:

We could always trade for the other Contreras brother. Should be a rental so wouldn't cost too much in prospect capital.
Then you run with 3 catchers with 1 being an acting DH.
Not ideal, but passable.
Not necessarily IMO.Quote:
