Could be wrong, but we're guessing Andrew Knizner is going to like the PCL 💪

Looked at Nationals depth at Catcher and Andrew needs to beat out Drew Millas & Riley Adams for backup catching role. Riley Adams is the current backup and out of options to Minors. Drew Millas has a much better batting average .249 but has two Minor Option years remaining.

Unless there is an injury, Andrew is probably looking at a AAA beginning to 2025 season and then needs to perform above his averages to make it back to 'The Show'.
