There are
multiple conflicting reports today that the Red Sox
will or
will not try to re-sign former catcher
Jarrod Saltalamacchia—who was released by the Miami Marlins. However, the weight of the evidence suggests that Boston will
not re-unite with Salty. First, he's owed $15 million on the balance of his contract. Second, his bat is now a
Mendoza-Line Wonder Boy. Third, Andover High School's
Ryan Hanigan and
Sandy Leon are perfectly adequate placeholders for the eventual backstop tandem of
Blake Swihart and
Christian Vazquez. We loved Salty as much as the next blog, but—
nah.
