As I am writing this, let the record show that Marlins catcher Jorge Alfaro has three home runs this early season. Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto has only one.
I’m not going to predict that Miami’s backstop will have more round trippers than their former player, but the early power that Alfaro has displayed, and his ability to work well with this young pitching staff has me and others thinking the trade this offseason may not be as one-sided as some thought.
After a spring delay, we’re Alfaro spent time resting from knee inflammation, it looks like the Marlins have a solid replacement to the teams best player last year.
