Rotoworld Player News

J.T. Realmuto

FA Catcher #10

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Ken Rosenthal and Matt Gelb of The Athletic report that the Phillies are close to re-signing catcher J.T. Realmuto.

Robert Murray of Fansided adds that it’ll be a three-year, $45 million deal with incentives that could run the total as high as $60 million. It always felt like a reunion with the Phillies made the most sense for the 34-year-old backstop, and now it looks like they’re close to pushing that deal across the finish line. Realmuto hit .257/.315/.384 with 12 homers, 52 RBI and eight stolen bases across 550 plate appearances in 2025 — his seventh season with the Phillies.
Brad Keller

PHI Relief Pitcher #40

Brad Keller has been added to Team USA for the World Baseball Classic.

Keller’s addition should round out the pitching staff, though it’s quite possible one or two guys will drop out before the tourney. Keller busted out with the Cubs in relief last season, posting a 2.07 ERA and a 75/22 K/BB in 69 2/3 innings. He signed a two-year, $22 million deal with the Phillies last month.
Bo Bichette

FA Shortstop #11

Bo Bichette and the Mets are in agreement on a three-year, $126 million contract, sources tell ESPN’s Jeff Passan.

The deal includes opt-outs after each season. The quick response from the Mets after missing out on Kyle Tucker sees them bringing in Bichette for third base. That seemed like it was going to be Brett Baty’s spot, but he could now get some work at first and DH; he still ought to be in the lineup against righties one way or the other. Bichette had seemed most likely Philadelphia bound until the Mets stepped up their offer. Perhaps the Phillies could now use their spending power to make a run at Framber Valdez.
Chase Shugart

PHI Relief Pitcher #55

Phillies acquired RHP Chase Shugart from the Pirates for INF Francisco Loreto.

Shugart, who was DFA’d last week, had a 3.40 ERA in 45 innings for the Pirates last season, though his peripherals weren’t very impressive; his K/BB was 31/17 and his groundball rate was only 33%. He does have an option year left, though, and the Phillies were surely attracted to that. Loreto, an 18-year-old signed out of Venezuela two years ago, wasn’t regarded as one of the Phillies’ better prospects. He hit .237/.332/.396 in 47 games in the Florida Complex League last season.
Levi Stoudt

PHI Relief Pitcher #67

Phillies signed RHP Levi Stoudt to a minor league contract.

Stoudt hasn’t resurfaced at the major-league level since making four appearances for the Reds back in 2023. The 28-year-old former pitching prospect has bounced around between a couple different organizations, including the Orioles and Mariners, over the past two seasons while pitching in relief in Triple-A. He’s merely organizational depth at this stage of his career.
Rene Pinto

PHI Catcher #50

Phillies signed C René Pinto to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Pinto fortifies Philadelphia’s catching depth chart, which lacks a true starter at the moment with veteran J.T. Realmuto languishing in free agency, behind Rafael Marchán and Garrett Stubbs. The 29-year-old backstop split last year between the Blue Jays and Diamondbacks at the Triple-A level. He’s gotten into 82 games at the big-league level since 2022.
Trevor Richards

PHI Relief Pitcher #38

Phillies signed RHP Trevor Richards to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Richards bolsters Philadelphia’s relief corps entering spring training after making just five appearances last year between the Diamondbacks and Royals. The 32-year-old journeyman isn’t far removed from being a durable workhorse with the Blue Jays where he made a whopping 195 appearances over a four-year span from 2021-2024 before the metaphorical wheels came off. He’s a low-risk emergency depth addition for the Phillies.
Alec Bohm

PHI 3rd Baseman #28

Phillies agreed to terms with 3B Alec Bohm on a one-year, $10.2 million contract.

Bohm fittingly gets a smaller raise this time after going from $4 million in his first year of arbitration in 2024 to $7.7 million last year. He hit .277/.331/.409 last season, a drop of 40 points of OPS from 2024. More importantly in arbitration, though, is that his RBI count went from 97 in 143 games in 2024 to 59 in 120 games last season. He’s been considered a trade candidate in his final year before free agency, but the Phillies will probably hold on to him unless they think they can upgrade.
Brandon Marsh

PHI Center Fielder #16

Phillies agreed to terms with OF Brandon Marsh on a one-year, $5.2 million contract.

Marsh gets a $2.2 million raise in his second year of arbitration. The 28-year-old hit .280/.342/.443 in 133 games last season, but he again struggled in his limited opportunities against lefties. He doesn’t offer much mixed-league value as a platoon player hitting in the bottom half of the Phillies lineup.
Edmundo Sosa

PHI 2nd Baseman #33

Phillies agreed to terms with INF Edmundo Sosa on a one-year, $4.4 million contract.

At 29, Sosa is now well established as one of the league’s better bench guys; he hit .276/.307/.469 in 261 plate appearances last season and is at .259/.310/.417 over the last five years. The Phillies will again pencil him in as a second baseman against lefties and will know they’re in safe hands if an injury opens up a full-time spot in the infield. Sosa will be eligible for free agency for the first time after the season.
