Phillies: Is another catching upgrade needed this season?

Phillies general manager Matt Klentak has had an outstanding offseason, one that could net him an Executive of the Year award if the season is successful. Entering the offseason there were 11 things we listed on the Phillies wish list for this offseason, and they’ve completed about half of those desires through free agency and trades.

One of the items checked off was to upgrade the catcher position, something the J.T. Realmuto trade did with a large black sharpie. Realmuto gives the Phillies one of the best backstops in baseball both at and behind the plate.
