With up to four MLB-caliber catchers on the 40-man roster, and with Ethan Salas now in MLB, what will the team do with Freddy Fermin?
Diego Garcia of East Village Times examines whether the San Diego Padres could trade catcher Freddy Fermin during the offseason.

Garcia highlights potential landing spots including the New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles, noting Fermin's projected $2.6 million arbitration salary. However, the writer notes San Diego's front office could still retain Fermin due to his defensive leadership and superior major league experience relative to Campusano and Salas.
