Cubs catcher is 'fighting for their job' after surprising performance
The Chicago Cubs will have some tough decisions to make this winter.
Chicago invested in the club this past offseason and even snatched manager Craig Counsell from the Milwaukee Brewers to a historic contract. The Cubs aren't looking to rebuild. They may not make the playoffs this season, but they have invested too much to tear it all down and start over.
There will be positions that the club needs to address. No other position may need a bigger upgrade than catcher. Because of this, FanSided's Zachary Rotman said that catcher Miguel Amaya is "fighting" for their job.
"To say that the Cubs' production behind the plate has been lackluster would be kind," Rotman said. "It has been putrid. The Cubs rank 28th in the majors with a 67 WRC+ from their catchers and 29th with -0.2 fWAR. Only the 33-114 Chicago White Sox have seen worse production behind the dish. Guys like Yan Gomes and Tomas Nido who struggled to the point where they were DFA'd deserve blame, but perhaps nobody deserves more blame for that than Miguel Amaya, the team leader with 92 starts behind the dish...
"The one saving grace for Amaya is that he has produced more offensively as the season has progressed. He was a non-factor to begin the year but has slashed .273/.310/.446 with four home runs and 23 RBI in the second half giving Cubs fans some semblance of hope that he might be something. While he has undoubtedly played better lately, the body of work is far from stellar in Amaya's first two MLB seasons, and the Cubs should absolutely look for upgrades in the offseason. Amaya could potentially be a backup for Chicago, but the fact that he's out of options makes his spot on the roster dicey."
Will the Cubs make a change this winter?
