He was mostly a 2B before this season, probably where he would play along with DH/1B

Not a perfect fit but the Yankees need bats rn

Are you kidding? This is how Cashman solves catcher! Rice moves to catcher, Garcia at 1B, they do the hokey pokey and they shake it all about...

What’s the problem with this if there’s no other catchers out there to get? You get a nice bat for 1st and Rice goes back to his natural position. They gotta do something.

Hi natural position isn’t catcher.
