Tribe anchored by strong catching duo in Gomes, Perez

Yan Gomes is not a fan of taking a day off, but he understands that is part of the gig as a starting catcher in the big leagues. During the first half last season, accepting the requisite respite was especially frustrating while Cleveland’s backup situation was shaky. Stability behind the plate did not arrive until rookie Roberto Perez was called up from Triple-A Columbus in July.
