Notable Free-Agent Catchers

Yasmani Grandal
Robinson Chirinos
Travis d’Arnaud
Yan Gomes
Alex Avila
Martin Maldonado
Stephen Vogt
Jason Castro
Francisco Cervelli
Matt Wieters
Russell Martin
Jonathan Lucroy
Bryan Holaday
Welington Castillo

With Buster Posey entrenched as the starter and top prospect Joey Bart rapidly rising through the system, the Giants will not be in the market for Yasmani Grandal, or even second-tier starting options like Robinson Chirinos, Travis d’Arnaud and Yan Gomes.

A reunion with Stephen Vogt remains a possibility, though he’s indicated he would like to play for a World Series contender as he chases a ring.

An experienced veteran like Martin Maldonado, Jason Castro or Jonathan Lucroy could help with the development of the young pitching staff, and no one from that group will cost much more than a couple million dollars on a one-year deal.

Unless the Giants think Aramis Garcia can handle backup duties, which wasn’t the case going into last season, someone from this list will need to be signed.
