And he played without a real viable backup for seemingly all of last year and that has to take a toll on a catcher.
I don't think last season was an aberration, but I also don't think he nets enough in a trade right now to make up for his loss on the roster. It sucks for him that he's no longer the clear starter going into his FA season-and I feel for him personally there, but he should still get plenty of games in.
