The Phillies will have more options when it comes to the catcher position

If Major League Baseball returns the Phillies are likely going to have an expanded roster, which means they have an opportunity to play around with some things they normally wouldn’t get to.

Reports are that the major league roster will be expanded from 26 to 30 players with a 20 player “taxi squad” mostly made up of minor league prospects.
