Phillies re-sign Garrett Stubbs on a split contract

I’m good with this! Marchan will still get his shot…
This is fine, people can relax a little now
Marchan honestly impressed me in the time he spent in the majors last year. Really hope this gives him a chance to play.
If Stubbs gets sent down, the phils might as well just give him a coaching role for the morale he brings to the locker room. I heard there’s an open spot in “clubhouse hype man” role.
I get backups are backups but the he is a AAAA player at best
People need to calm their tits about Stubbs. This team’s title hopes are no where near being on the shoulder of any backup quality catcher. Marchan, Stubbs, or any other FA that would realistically take a lesser C role for cheap is not the make or break point.
You’d think Marchan was the second coming of Babe Ruth the way this sub talks about him sometimes. The Dodgers won the World Series with Austin Barnes as their backup catcher, it’s not a championship winning position.
Marchand helps the team more by getting at bats every day in the minors and being ready if Realmuto gets hurt. Stubbs is a backup either way.
They signed him for his persona, not his ability to lead us to a great winning season as a back up catcher.
