ALFARO ADDED BY THE PADRES
The San Diego Padres acquired catcher Jorge Alfaro from the Miami Marlins for a player to be named later or cash considerations.
What does it give the San Diego Padres
In Alfaro, the Padres get a solid catcher with some untapped offensive upside. Expect him to compete with Austin Nola for at-bats in 2022. This move likely signals the departure of Victor Caratini.
What does it give the Miami Marlins
The Marlins wanted Alfaro to establish himself as their undisputed No. 1 catcher but it never really happened. So, they decided to move on and take back a future asset or cash.
Fantasy impact
Alfaro has some sneaky fantasy appeal in some leagues. However, he also comes with some risk. Therefore, he should only be a draft consideration in the later rounds.
