went into the offseason knowing they were going to make a change at catcher and move on from Martin Maldonado who had been a staple behind the plate for them since 2019.
So, they ultimately moved off from the veteran and handed the reins to Diaz for the 2024 season, bringing in Victor Caratini as his backup.
