Baseball Primer Newsblog — The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand Wednesday, November 23, 2022Do The Royals Have A Problem Behind The Plate? - MLB Trade RumorsThe Royals should start transitioning Melendez into their #1 catcher. A 60/40 split of Salvy and Melendez this year would be a good start, with Salvy picking up a lot of DH time.

1. Walt Davis Posted: November 23, 2022 at 12:56 PM (#6106618)As I'm sue the article points out, the Royals have Perez under contract for 3 more years for $64 -- not going to break the bank or anything but pricey for a 110 OPS+ DH.
EDIT: But if we were to list all of the Royals' problems in order of problemy-ness, it would be a while before we got to Sal Perez
He played in about 65 games at catcher(578 innings) had 5 errors (not terrible) 6 pass balls (not terrible) 49 wild pitches not good at all. (Perez had 29 wild pitches and 1 passed ball in about 4 more games played--same pitching staff)
Salvy plus Melendez in a swing role plus a pure defense backup catcher will work in the short term. If Melendez can't hold down the position, his bat should carry him as an outfielder.
