3/8 playoff teams last year traded for a catcher. The idea that playoff teams don't trade for catcher is just blatantly false. I am counting the Indians of last year as they had a trade in place for Lucroy but Lucroy declined to go there.

you are counting a team that didn't get a catcher?

And on a similarly awful level you are comparing one year of trades as your sample size?

Yes and Yes. Like I said if you can come up with data backing your viewpoint there really isn't anything you can stand on.

Except for your faulty data and the experts speaking for years on this being true.

I too found it difficult to google a simple list of trades made for a given year.

2015 Catchers traded to contenders: Wellington Castillo(SEA), Drew Butera(KC). At the time these teams were either division leaders or within a few games of division lead.

Both at best were second string catchers.

Both were 6 weeks or less into the season as well.

Hardly the same.

Not surprising. The Rangers are out of it and he's a FA

So now its starting catchers to playoff contenders, past 6 weeks into the season? That is quite an interesting qualification you narrowed it down to. Don't remember seeing that one
