The Philadelphia Phillies haven’t hid their desire to re-sign free-agent catcher J.T. Realmuto this offseason. They can’t, however, guarantee that it will happen.
Friday evening, the club introduced new pitching coach Caleb Cotham, the fifth to man that position for the Phillies in as many years. With next-to-no stability at pitching coach, manager Joe Girardi was asked how important re-signing Realmuto is for the success of the pitching staff in 2021.
“I think all organizations – [including] the Phillies – that’s what we love,” Girardi said, referring to stability.
