Braves predicted that he would replace the wounded Sean Murphy’s former All-Star

. Atlanta Braves Apparently they were unable to sign the veteran of the Yasman Grandal catcher. But this does not mean that Braves will completely give up the market of veterans’ catches.

Zachary D. Rymer from Bleacher Report predicted that Braves would still be on this market. In the case of one of his bold forecasts, on March 12, Rymer argued that Atlanta would sign a veteran James McCanna.

“On the other hand, Grandal and McCann still look like a semi-Żywy Backstops. The former has a talent for framing and some pop in his bat, while the latter. wrote Rymer.

“Grandal Apparently he rejected Atlanta Braves’s offer, which needs to be caught after Sean Murphy he broke the rib. “

Francys Romero baseball reporter informed On March 10, that Braves made an offer to the “about a month ago”, which he rejected. The offer time is interesting because of the latest injury of Sean Murphy.

Murphy suffered a cracked rib On the impact on February 28. So if Romero is not turned off by two weeks with the report “about a month ago”, Braves actually offered the Grandal a contract before Murphy fell due to injury.

Braves will probably be even more interested in a veteran from Murphy who expects you to miss the opening day.

McCann created The ALL-Star team from Chicago White Sox in 2019. This season it hit .273 of 0.789 OPS.

The following year, McCann achieved even better results on the plate during the anti -MLB Covid 2020 campaign. The catcher lowered .289/.360/.536 z .896 OPS in 111 album performances.

Since then, it seems that age has caught up with McCann. Veteran hit .234 with 17 additions in 214 bats in 65 matches last season.

McCann will be 35 years old in June. He has not appeared in more than 70 games from 2021. Braves should not count on him more than in 2025.

Rymer added a bold forecast that McCann will spend the entire 2025 campaign with Braves. Again, assessing that the team wanted a veteran catcher before Murphy’s injury, it is difficult to disagree with this forecast. The only other veteran, which Braves has, in addition to Murphy, is Chadwick Trup.

But how Drake Baldwin’s best perspective It still affects whether Braves takes place on a veteran such as McCann.

Braves scratched Baldwin from Wednesday’s spring training game due to an allergic reaction. But the band called Scratch “a precautionary means”, so Baldwin is to return soon.

Perspective No. 1 Braves received delighted reviews from colleagues from the team this spring. On a plate, He hits 7 out of 19 (.368) with two double, two RBI, four runs, six walks and one strike in 10 spring training games this year.
