Ty France: Open to playing catcher
Ty France is willing to consider playing catcher, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.France has never caught an inning either at the major- or minor-league level, but he did get some reps behind the plate at the Padres' alternate site in 2020 and has been viewed as an emergency catcher at a couple stops. Realistically, it's difficult to envision the 30-year-old France seeing substantial time at catcher at this point in his career, especially since he's evidently drawn free-agent interest from 10-plus clubs, per Feinsand.

France should continue to replace Smith at first base when the Reds face lefties, but Smith looks to be the preferred option at the position versus righties, and manager David Bell could rotate a number of players at the designated-hitter spot.
