If Twins Miss Out on Free-Agent Catchers, They Should Look to Padres for an Answer

Rainiel Rodriguez is there future. Leo Bernal is a MLB C/1B and even Jimmy Crooks is an above average defensive C who has shown he can hit. Rodriguez could very likely make his debut in '27. Bernal would probably take a quality prospect, Crooks could be gotten for cheap as a BU and if you traded him once Lackey or Tait were ready is not the worst thing in the world. 

Leo Bernal was my first choice of players to acquire via trade. I don't think St. Louis would listen but I would make an attempt. My first offer would be Kremer, DeBarge, and Quick. I might substitute Zebby Matthews for Kremer if that is what it took, but I don't see the Cardinals trading Bernal. 

Crooks would be attainable but I'm not sure what it would take.
