The Red Sox spent all of last year saying how great Leon was with the pitching staff. Can't understand why they chose Swihart over him in the first place.
Leon is the better defensive catcher, and game caller, but he was no hit. Swihart made the team for his bat potential, but he was trade bait during ST, with no takers.
While totallly agree that Swihart has been given the time and opportunity to suceed, this early-season DFA seems a little desperate.
