Pirates Have Discussed Trading Francisco Cervelli
6 years agoThe Pittsburgh Pirates have discussed trading catcher Francisco Cervelli, according to league sources. Even with a decent amount of catching available in the offseason, Cervelli will be attractive to teams because of his high on-base percentage and makeup behind the dish. He hit .259/.378/.431 with a career-high 12 home runs and 57 RBI in 104 games with the Bucs in 2018. Injuries are a concern, but Cervelli isn't a bad second catcher in two-catcher leagues. Elias Diaz would likely be locked into a heavy workload if Cervelli were to be traded.
