The Marlins have parted ways with yet another catcher in Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Since the departure of Ivan Rodriguez following the 2003 season, the team has not found consistency behind the plate. Will J.T. Realmuto change this trend?
Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez played only one season in south Florida, but what a season it was. The play at the plate in the NLDS against the Giants in 2003 will be forever immortalized in Marlins history. He ended the regular season with a .297 batting average, 16 home runs and 85 RBIs. He won a World Series ring, then, he was gone.
