Widger. He grew up a Phils fan, and would probably waive his no-trade to go there. The Yanks just needed some C insurance in case Flaherty goes down.

Jenson was a hot Giants prospect years ago, but never could put it together. He's bounced around, but could be a ML backup as needed.

Two bets the PTBNL is Widger.

I think Widger warrants just a bit more in a trade than 30 year old catcher with a career average of .184.

this guy was supposed to be competing for the backup job in Scranton but i guess they decided on Salazar and Levis there so he became expendable nice lil pick up if we need an emergency guy
