You would have to wonder if the Twins would be willing to carry 3 catchers, especially if they think they will move Jeffers by the end of the month.  You could DFA or send Gray down, if he has options left.  Caratini, Clemens, or even Bell (scary, but still true!) can play 1B and Lewis can still play 3rd to give Lee a day off.  If you intend on moving Jeffers, this will only be a 2–3 week ordeal.

The trade deadline is a month from today and most of the transactions take place on deadline day. If the Twins keep three catchers it will be for most of a month.

I think the Twins will find a way to keep Jackson and it might mean keeping three catchers temporarily.

Maybe MLB needs to let catchers call balls and strikes. They’re in the best position to do so, and they could quit the pitch framing nonsense then. Would probably work as well as calling your own fouls in pick up basketball.😀

what a challenge by Jackson

I think that Jackson was timid to challenge when he was first called up.  They have let him get comfortable and now he is much more comfortable making the challenge.  I would think he would be the most comfortable on the team due to his time in the minors.

I think that also adds to the mindset of the team and Shelty trying to empower (especially catchers) to challenge these calls. Getting the right call changes at-bats and whole innings!

Mr. Analyst.  Are you sure that you don't want to completely sub out your lineup in the 3rd inning?  One Rocco Baldelli would disagree with you on that premise.
