Absolutely! Best case scenario for extending Salvy's useful career by several seasons as well as best case for Melendez. Catching is brutal, so having two plus players that can rotate between there and DH saves their legs for late in the year and for years to come. Great situation.
We've seen how having a year and a half off basically benefitted Salvy; he was strong and wrecking shit right to the end of the season. In the past, he would always fade in the second half. He just wears down.
I would absolutely look at Mondesi in the OF. It might well keep him healthier, and he's got the speed.
