Martin Maldonado to Cubs
Re: Martin Maldonado to Cubs
Caratini has been great this year. He looks like a solid if unspectacular 2.5-3 win catcher. He could probably bring back something pretty legit given the price and control. Maybe the headliner for Whit Merrifield?
Or Willson's foot is dead, but that's too sad of a scenario for me to think about.

Sending Monty for a rental backup catcher. I'm officially scared about Contreras' foot.

This may be the dumbest thing posted today so forgive me in advance but any chance they’re going to play Willy in the OF more down the stretch?

Well I was just trying to convince myself that Willy wasn’t headed to the IL but I guess we know now that is happening. FML

Re: Martin Maldonado to Cubs
Eh.
Maldonado > Descalso (also Russell, but that's a stretch). His presence on the bench means more PH opportunities for Vic or Willy. This could also be part 1 of a 2 part move, assuming Willy is healthy in a couple weeks. If there are teams that believe Caratini can be a starter, he becomes a pretty intriguing trade piece.

Re: Martin Maldonado to Cubs
I know Monty has been bad and hurt this year but trading him straight up for a rental backup catcher is beyond horsefeathering stupid. I'm actually mad about this. Caratini has been solid as a backup and 2B has been a black hole and the pen is a mess but ok.
