This Was Supposed to Be the Summer of George

Only, it won't be. Because George Kottaras, the light-hitting, fast-loving and oft-injured back-up catcher, has been waived by the Sox and picked up by the Brewers.This move leaves us with two catchers, one Canadian (With Kottaras' departure, Bay is now the Sox' lone Canuck) and nobody named George.
