                            Makes no sense. Unless using him in a JT trade.

                              It makes sense not going into the season with only Stassi and Stubbs. Chirinos swings a decent bat and is considered a good clubhouse guy and game caller. Not very good at limiting the run game or pitch framing.

                              I wouldn't be surprised if he is the opening day catcher or Stassi's back up. I would be surprised if he was the #1 catcher for a playoff series.

                              I also wouldn't be surprised if they sign or trade for a different catcher between now and opening day.

                              Chirinos has no value in a JTR trade.

                              The Astros are patient. JTR's price has nowhere to go but down. Grandal is likely to get a really big contract that they don't want to take on with guys like Springer, Correa, Verlander, and Cole nearing free agency.

                              There will be a good defensive catcher available at the deadline that they can pick up for minimal prospect cost if they need one.

                                One of the knocks on Chirino is the lower scoring defensive metrics. However, a portion of those depend on the pitcher, as well as the catchers ability. Given that Chirino handled a sub-par pitching staff with the Rangers, and the Astros current pitchers are far superior, I think we’ll end up liking Chirino. I think we’ll see a nice improvement in his defensive measurables.

                                Now go get Eovaldi and Goldy!
