Players in camp: J.T. Realmuto, Garrett Stubbs, Rafael Marchan, Aramis Garcia, Cody Roberts
Expected to make the roster: Realmuto, Stubbs
The catcher position is much like the approach the Phillies took this off-season. They’re banking on continuity that’s mostly led them to back-to-back NLCS appearances.
They’re banking on JT Realmuto having at least one more season where he’s one of the best catchers in baseball. They’re banking on Garrett Stubbs being the perfect locker room presence, the perfect blend of energy for the young players, and light-hearted baseball humor for the vets.
