"Marchán has fared better with the bat, with a .245/.308/.394 line and 93 wRC+ in his career, compared to a .215/.293/.310 line and 70 wRC+ for Stubbs."
"The Phils will see if there's another club out there in need of catching help with interest in Stubbs. Market forces might be working against them."
"It seems like Andrew Knizner might get cut loose by the Mariners. The Mets will probably have to put Ben Rortvedt on waivers this week."
Rafael Marchán has been named the backup catcher for J.T. Realmuto, which may result in Garrett Stubbs being traded. Realmuto has been the primary catcher for seven seasons and re-signed with the Phillies on a three-year deal. Both Marchán and Stubbs have served as backups, but Marchán, at 27, has an advantage with an extra year of club control and better performance metrics. The Phillies are exploring trade options for Stubbs, but competition exists in the market for out-of-options catchers.
