The Philadelphia Phillies are evaluating their catcher situation as they prepare for the upcoming season. With J.T. Realmuto's playoff performance declining, the team aims to reduce his regular season workload to enhance his playoff readiness.
This strategy may lead to a shift away from Garrett Stubbs, potentially favoring Rafael Marchan as the secondary catcher. Additionally, the future of the catching position is in question with Realmuto hitting free agency after the season.
Excitingly, the Phillies have a promising prospect in Eduardo Tait, who has drawn comparisons to franchise great Carlos Ruiz. Tait, the team's No. 5 prospect, has showcased impressive offensive skills in the minors, raising hopes for his future contributions.
