Looking ahead to MLB free agency, three names have been suggested as catcher targets for the Chicago Cubs.
He has made it very clear that he wants the team to get back to World Series contention. In order to make that happen, the Cubs will need some upgrades at different positions around the roster.There is a chance that the fix to those issues is already in the organization. Many believe that Triple-A catcher Moises Ballesteros will be the team's long-term answer behind the plate. However, they could also consider dipping into the free agency market to add a catcher.
Kelly has played in 66 games this season, hitting eight home runs and driving in 33 RBI. He has slashed .250/.330/.408 and would bring a better bat, but still not the kind of impact that Chicago would like. All three of those players could make sense. The real question would be, would any of them truly move the needle?
If he can come up and make an impact late this year, Hoyer wouldn't have to spend money in free agency or make a trade for a catcher.
