The Yankees' Catching Conundrum: A Familiar Pattern of Frustration The Boston Red Sox's surprising resurgence has led to some expected fallout, including the departure of catcher Andrew Knizner from the team.

Knizner's brief tenure with the Red Sox was marked by impressive performances at Triple A Worcester. He hit . 316 with an OPS of . 920, attractive numbers that would appeal to any team looking to bolster its roster.
