    Braves Trade for Catcher Raffy Lopez

    cash considerations to Padres

    looks like he has an option left and probably will be one of our AAA catchers

    Or the infamous PTBNL(MLBTR)

    Appears that Lopez will fill the role of Stewart, Perez or Rivera from last year,

    Unsurprisingly, Lopez ranked #4 in all MLB in 2018 for framing on a per game basis out of 67 catchers who caught 2000+ pitches.

    Flowers ranked #10 and was extended.

    Suzuki ranked #55 and was not extended.

    I suspect we are seeing a trend developing here.

    Not to sound daffy, but I'm excited about Raffy, as I hear he's tough as saltwater taffy.
