I say let them all backstop at the same time. It should cut down on the wild pitches and passed balls.

When I was a kid we called that "piggyback".

Like viable catchers.
3 in the minors
And 3 in the majors if we count Herrera.
That's a major log jam.
I guess trade bait.
The guys in the minors appear to be better than the guys in the majors.
Until they're not.
Herrera should never touch a catchers glove again.
Pages can’t hit
Pozo is meh

None of them stand out defensively in any way shape or form

I’d call up Crooks asap and let him get some experience. Bernal at AAA. Let them battle it out in 2026.

Problem lies in that we have to provide playing time.
Also, we have to evaluate properly.
That mean MLB playing time too.
That's the issue man.
Come on.
It's tougher than you think.
And nowhere near as tough as you've tried to make it in this thread.

Agree 100%. Keep one of Pozo or Pages--or deal/DFA both and call up Bernal along with Crooks. Feet wet for 2026 season, move on from P & P ASAP. Why not?
