Factoring in his two hits in Sunday’s win for Boston, Narváez is now hitting .282 with a 128 wRC+. Mariners star catcher Cal Raleigh, who leads MLB in home runs, is the only qualified backstop in the American League with a higher OPS (1.173) than Narváez (.834). He could’ve been the perfect right-handed platoon option with Wells this year.

Boston and New York traded with each other only twice from 1997-2020. But they have completed four trades since 2021. The latest came at the Winter Meetings in December when Boston acquired catcher Carlos Narváez for pitching prospect Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz and $250,000 in international bonus pool space.

Judge busted Garrett Crochet's shutout bid with a one-out bomb to left out of Fenway Park, but the Sox catcher picked up their ace in the bottom of the 10th with a game-winning Wall-ball.
