I've heard and read rumors of Montero being possible trade bait in a package deal for an arm. Personally I don't think that would happen, but it is interesting to consider because even if you acquire another catcher, I think that means they have a lot of faith in Schwarber to be the catcher of the future.
It would clear a lot of things up if he could make the transition to the big league pace of catching this off-season. That would allow us to integrate some different OF looks with Bryant out there, possibly give us more flexibility to bring up Almora. It would most importantly allow us to hypothetically get all of Bryant, Soler, Schwarber, Russell, Baez, Castro, and Rizzo in the same lineup on a consistent basis. Possibly add Almora to CF if he is ready and you're looking at one of the scariest, youngest lineups in baseball.
