For cash considerations.

Hits PCL bombs. Powah. Good defender. Tony Pena's son.

Always a good thing. So he's on the 40 man roster then? I know projections are pretty meaningless, but whatever BBref is using has him projected for a better year than Clevenger. DD is doing his thing today. Non tender day is our winter meetings. But hey it works.

This story describes KC's merry-go-round of back-up catchers the last few years. The fact that Pena was never really given a turn implies he was considered lacking, probably defensively since he did put up some big power numbers (in PCL ball):

This could be interesting, either he's trade bait or he could be the backup to Caleb Joseph with Chance Sisco after Matt leaves.

Why would a recently acquired player be trade bait?

But he could send him off somewhere as part of a package deal. Again, who knows?

Sure, as piece 3 or 4 of a deal. You know, the player that is just a throw in.
