How should we value Mitch Garver now that he signed with the Seattle Mariners find out next on Fantasy Baseball today in five?

We got some catcher news. The Mariners signed Mitch Garver to a two-year

$24 million deal and not sure he'll actually play much catcher but he has

catch eligibility for fantasy. Obviously the Mariners have Cal Raleigh and Sebi Sevala as

their catcher tandem there as well but I think an everyday d'H roll maybe kind of

mixes in as like you know a second or third catcher on the mariners here or there.

Playing the age should actually help his value. I think he'll get more plate appearances than the average catcher.

Garver, the problem is health. I mean, it's not a matter of like how good he is when he's

on the field he's really good I mean he hit 270 19 homers in just 87 games this

games since 2019 so I like the skill set it's just can he stay on the field

217 when he's the DH it's like he hits higher when he's a catcher.

So you know some guys that's just you know as he gets used to it hopefully he'll

acclimate to that role and he can and of course they've got Edgar Martinez up there

you can come in spring training kind of talk them through some of that stuff how to stay prepared.

Yeah, you know from where he's going and anytime you can get a catcher a catcher eligible player that's not going to be catching for the most part,

then you're thinking you're doing well. So I'm not sure how much this will drive up his ADP just because of all of the risk issues, but in that range where you were talking about in our show notes about where he's going to go. I mean, he's a pretty luring option, especially if you're waiting at catcher which a lot of people like to do.

Yeah, the early ADP for Mitch Garver is 203.6 17th catcher off the board.

I think he'll climb up a little bit. We usually see once

players sign they kind of get a little bit of a boost and I was looking at like the
