The Texas Rangers have unexpectedly released catcher Jonah Heim, a Gold Glove Award winner, after failing to trade him before the deadline. Heim, a switch-hitter, is now seeking a new team despite declining defensive metrics and offensive production. His valuable postseason experience could make him an attractive option for teams needing a backup catcher. Potential landing spots include the Pittsburgh Pirates, Philadelphia Phillies, and Tampa Bay Rays. Heims future likely involves finding a team that values his veteran presence and game-calling abilities.
