I’d give Grandal the next couple of weeks to show some life. I’d rather not carry a third catcher with one of those 2 call ups and would rather add 2 players + Perez while ILing Grandal like you said.
And obviously we would rather have them just spend on someone great. But you can point at the star outfielders in this year’s free agent class and I’ll point to which players they won’t sign. They’re more likely to gamble on a cheaper guy like Conforto looking to rebuild value for a year than sign Judge.
