As talks with free agent J.T. Realmuto have failed to progress, the Phillies have begun to explore the trade market for a catcher, reports The Athletic. Philadelphia is said to have an offer on the table for Realmuto. Ultimately, a reunion makes sense for both sides, but a deal hasn't come together yet, so the Phillies are exploring their options.

By the end of this frenetic Phillies week, in which they settled on an outfield alignment and rearranged their bullpen, things were not materially different.

The 34-year-old Strahm appeared in 188 games (10 starts) for the Phillies over three seasons (2023-25), going 17-10 with a 2.71 ERA (64 ER, 212.2 IP).
