100% correct! Just make sure Pina is his personal catcher! Pina will be the starter next year, and we'll be better for it. He has a history as a solid hitter. I swear most of his homers come in key moments. His defense is far superior, and salary is very manageable. I'd try to offer him a 3 year deal for about $10-12 million, with an option. I really hope so. I know lot around here have blamed the collapse of the pitching on losing Derek Johnson, but I really wonder how much Grandal has contributed to that. Chemistry between the pitcher and catcher is vastly underrated. Just from my POV, our pitchers don't look comfortable with Grandal back there. Last year with Pina and Kratz, the pitchers appeared more confident and attacked, this year not so much. Outside of Woodruff, every pitcher has taken a step backwards. I understand why DS signed YG, but it just hasn't worked out and at $18 million, just not worth the money. With Pina, $1.6 this year, an option for next year for $1.85 million and he's an arbitration eligible in 2021. Easy decision in my mind, let Grandal walk, roll with Pina as the starter and I'd bring Kratz back just to see. If it worked before, it can work again!
