MLB insider Mark Feinsand has identified Los Angeles Dodgers backup catcher Dalton Rushing as a possible trade piece this offseason. With Will Smith secured as the starting catcher through 2033, Rushing's long-term role remains uncertain despite his status as a top prospect. The Dodgers' depth at catcher could allow them to address needs in the outfield and bullpen.
The Seattle Mariners are nearing a Major League contract agreement with veteran catcher Andrew Knizner to serve as backup to Cal Raleigh in 2026. The deal, pending a physical, addresses the team's need for catching depth after trading prospect Harry Ford. Knizner brings seven seasons of MLB experience to the 40-man roster.

The Detroit Tigers may consider trading catcher Thayron Liranzo during MLB's upcoming Winter Meetings. Acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2024, Liranzo is seen as expendable due to the team's depth at the position. The meetings begin December 8 in Orlando, Florida.
