That made him 10% better than the average hitter. And because the average catcher – for whom defense is much more of a priority than offense – ran a wRC+ of just 91, it made Wong nearly 19% better than his counterparts behind...2268Mon, 20 Jan 2025 16:14:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/where-do-the-red-sox-turn-for-bullpen-help-now-r2264/Left-handed reliever Tanner Scott signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday morning.
