Former Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Yasmani Grandal has been testing the waters of free agency since November, which uniform will he be wearing in Spring Training?
This past spring, switch-hitting catcher Yasmani Grandal was one of the hottest players on the Los Angeles Dodgers. He’s been a consistent source of power in the Dodgers’ lineup for the past four seasons and now he faces a decision; sign elsewhere or wait for the Dodgers to extend a suitable offer.
It’s been reported that Grandal rejected a 4-Year/$60M contract from the Mets. It’s unlikely that the Dodgers will extend an offer similar to the Mets’, with Austin Barnes being a reliable option for LA in Grandal’s position.
When it comes to teams in need of a strong catcher, Grandal is one of the best options out there. He’s a switch-hitter with power and has caught pitchers like Clayton Kershaw, Walker Buehler, and Yu Darvish.
In 2018, Grandal hit .241 with 24 home runs and 68 RBIs.
With the possibility of Grandal signing soon (pitchers and catchers report mid-February) here are the possible teams that could land the former Dodger.
