He's a FA after this year. The Cubs will let him walk. If Caratini isn't traded, he'll probably get a look this September and could be the backup next year. Or they'll sign a reasonably priced defense-first back up catcher free agent. Don't really think that's a position of concern. I had forgotten where I posted that But anyway I was basically wondering if they should DFA him. But I didn't really expect them to do it.
