Phillies free agent Wilson Ramos wants to play every day, which makes a return seem unlikely

Wilson Ramos was three months from becoming a free agent when he felt his left hamstring tighten in July while he ran to first base. Instantly, Ramos was brought back to 2016, when he tore his ACL just a week before hitting free agency.

Ramos, just as he was in 2016, was primed to enter the market as one of the premier hitting catchers. And again, it seemed possible that he would be a free agent on the disabled list. Ramos, who joined the Phillies at the trade deadline, was determined to finish the season on the active roster.
