Hanigan to Tampa for Mat Joyce. You heard it here first.
Hanigan to Tampa for Mat Joyce. You heard it here first.
It appears that Hanigan is the odd man out, as Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports hears from a source that Hanigan is likely to be moved (Twitter link). ESPN's Buster Olney tweets that the Rays and Yankees, two teams with question marks at catcher this offseason, have liked Hanigan in the past.
WHO?
Matt Joyce (29) is a cheap left handed outfielder with the following career line:
.249/.340/.455/.796
Drafted by the Tigers and was traded to the Rays for Edwin Jackson.
I should probably point out that this is a total guess on my part.
Wow, I did not realize how bad Mesoraco was last year.

I am not sure that is not enough to get Joyce, there have been reports in the past that the Rays have a man crush on Ryan Hanigan.
This wouldn't be the first time a Reds team in recent memory carried three catchers on the 25-man roster (remember LaRue, Ross, and Valentin?). Also, like Chapman, Peņa is Cuban. I have a feeling that was a big motivator. I'm not saying Hanigan isn't gone, but I wouldn't say it's written in stone just yet.

Very consistent player....can't hit, but he can't field either.

Adding a Cuban catcher for the games Chapman starts?
I'm disappointed in this move as Corky moves farther down the depth chart.
Where we gonna go?
