4th catcher let’s goooooo
It begins!!
How should I feel about this? Meh?
I wonder if this could indicate we are moving Herrera separately. Or it could mean nothing at all.
Rocking a 51 wRC+ in single A this year. Not even listed as one of their top 40 prospects on fangraphs. Surely a major league quality lefty who throws as hard as Cabrera was worth more than that.
Edit: People feel very strongly about his mlb ‘quality.’ Either way, he’s worth more than a prospect that isn’t even in their top 40!!

19 year old Puerto Rican catcher. Sounds familiar.
Hit pretty well at rookie ball so far this year but poorly in A ball. Barely 19 though. No clue about his defense obviously. Overall not bad to get someone that young for a negative WAR reliever.
19 year old Catcher. Decent pop in his limited action so far
I’ll miss you Genesis 😭
The balls of steel on Mo
Rare midseason Mo move that makes sense
Katie Wooooo!
Mo is definitely that “Wolverine looking at a photo” meme but with Sean Murphy
What’s with all these catchers?
More like exódus Cabrera amirite
Big moves. Everyone who is anyone is talking about it
Cabby nooooo
Damn. Now we have 4 catchers
The amount of people on twitter saying “wE nEeD pItChInG!” shows the ineptitude of some of the fan base
Officially the end of the Méga Drive era.
Oh come the fuck on 🙁 as a blue jays fan, I am more unhappy gaining Genesis and all that comes with him, than I am of losing another prospect
Getting any value from a DFA’d player is a huge win IMO
Yes.
At least he won’t be drilling guys in the head anymore while wearing the birds on the bat
He was worth it for the mere fact we got rid of Pham.
At least that blue glove he liked to wear should fit the new team colors reasonably well.
