2 pros, 2 cons to Red Sox giving Jorge Alfaro a chance

Should Red Sox give Jorge Alfaro a chance?

Con No. 2 - The potential chemistry disruption

Given the up-and-down tendencies of Boston's pitching staff this season, who knows if this is even a thing, but a pitcher-catcher battery has the potential to be something very delicate and - at times - something that is not to be messed with.

The chemistry between McGuire, and Wong, is definitely noticeable as well. Something anyone who has simply watched baseball knows, that chemistry is important, getting along with your teammates is definitely something that is paramount in baseball today.

If Alfaro comes into the catcher's room, there is the potential that it may break up the rhythm some pitchers have with certain catchers - something that the Red Sox might want to avoid, given their delicate situation.

Conclusion: If Boston is willing to give up on Reese McGuire, and wants to add some pop to the lineup, they should give Alfaro a chance
