The Phillies can finally upgrade at the backup catcher position

Back in January, I advocated the team upgrading the backup catcher spot. It seemed like a decent way to squeeze an extra win out of a roster that, at the time, did not include either Bryce Harper or J.T. Realmuto. It looked like a team that needed to get any extra wins it could muster due to the fact that the rest of the National League East had upgraded so much (sorry - not you, Miami).

Fast forward to now and this team looks a lot better - and still needs to add a better option at the backup catcher spot.
