The Blue Jays have the chance to sign former World Series champion and all-star catcher

D'Arnaud won a World Series in 2021 with the Braves, he is a former all-star and silver slugger winner which is why he would be a great fit for the Blue Jays or any team that ends up signing him.

Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos stated last month that he played on accepting d'Arnaud option but things have clearly changed as the option was declined last night resulting in the catcher becoming a free agent.

The former Braves catcher could end up being a great fit for the Blue Jays who currently only have one true MLB catcher in Alejandro Kirk and brining in a catcher like d'Arnaud who is great defensively but can only be a solid hitter looks like a great plan. Last season d'Arnaud has 15 homeruns and 48 RBIs with a .238 batting average in 307 at bats.

Despite Ross Atkins stating that he is happy with the Blue Jays current duo, giving Kirk the majority of the games with such a slim depth chart in terms of catchers in the organization can turn into some terrible if Kirk gets injured. Regardless of who the Blue Jays sign, it is clear they need another catcher.
