Report: A's Could Pursue Veteran Catcher

Kelley L Cox/US Presswire

John Shea is reporting that the A's could place a claim on a veteran catcher such as Ramon Hernandez or Yorvit Torrealba, who have both been placed on waivers.

The A's traded away Kurt Suzuki today to the Nationals today, leaving them with two unproven catchers in Derek Norris and George Kottaras.

Either Torrealba or Hernandez will provide the experience that the A's need behind the dish that is needed for their young pitching staff.
