Considering how well Danny Jansen hits against us, we should certainly consider getting him in a trade.

Casali is fine

Gallagher was outrighted and refused, becoming a free agent.

Bumping this, with McCann now in.  Look at the alternatives and cost.  I think we'll be okay.

A quick scan of backup (my threshold was less than 80 games) who had positive WAR, and their associated OPS:

Zavala: 61 games/ 1.9 WAR/.729 OPS

Jansen: 72/2.6/.855

Jeffers: 0.9/67/648

Maile: 0.7/76/.627

Heineman: 0.6/62/.524

Serven: 0.5/62/.593

Casali: 0.4/57/.649

Wynns (a blast from the past): 0.4/66/.671

McCann and Garver (hurt) put up 0.4 WAR

Delay: 0.2/57/.536

And it tiers down from there.  Those guys below Jansen have negative oWAR and several wins positive in dWAR

So as you can see, if you can get the positive dWAR value, then you take what you can get from the oWAR side.  None of these guys are lighting it up.

Adding this list of guys. Are there any here that are FA or trade options that would be better? Because we all know that better options that McCann would have cost more on the FA market

Good thread bump. Going back to the Statcast link in the OP, I'm pleased that McAnn is positive (albeit not elite) with +2 Framing Runs. Assuming that is a counting stat, that's actually pretty solid for the number of innings he caught.

Im not sure we could find the same for less.  And even at league min, itd be more unpredictable.....or Beneboom.
