J.T. Realmuto

Two days into spring training, the Phillies already have their first injury and it’s to a very important player. Catcher J.T. Realmuto has a small fracture at the base of his right thumb, manager Joe Girardi said on Thursday.

In an empty stadium last season, the Phillies could hear the Phandemic Krew, a group of fans that gathered outside locked gates at home games to cheer and chant, “Sign J.T.!” Now that J.T. Realmuto has, indeed, been signed, he’s expressing his gratitude to the Krew in an exclusive talk with NBC Sports Philadelphia’s Danny Pommells.

The Phillies’ offseason plans aren’t crystal clear, but this holiday social media graphic doesn’t spell confidence.

Bryce Harper began his offseason by doing what he’s done for a year: rep J.T. Realmuto.

The Phillies added a pair of veterans on Tuesday to help with their sudden injury outbreak.

J.T. Realmuto on Thursday had his first chat with reporters since baseball’s re-start with one particular request.

The Phillies should’ve expected Bryce Harper to have a voice in team construction when they inked him to his massive contract. He’s now using that voice to support J.T. Realmuto.

There is a possibility, however slim, that J.T. Realmuto has played his last game as a Phillie.

If you’re looking for a funny way to support the Phillies on Super Tuesday (and in an election year), look no further.

More evidence that, in almost all baserunning situations last season, J.T. Realmuto made the aggressive and correct decision.

J.T. Realmuto’s next contract will be worth more than $100 million. Most baseball fans know those deals rarely work out … but just how rarely?

The Phillies have avoided an arbitration hearing with reliever Hector Neris.

Despite losing his case, J.T. Realmuto will still make a record salary for an arbitration-eligible catcher.

Full-squad workouts, arbitration hearings 2,000 miles away and the beginning of spring training games — this is going to be a busy week for the Phillies.

The Phillies have fired manager Gabe Kapler after the team ended its season with a lackluster 81-81 record and out of the playoffs, NBC Sports Philadelphia’s Jim Salisbury reported.

Gabe Kapler can only work with what he has in the Phillies’ bullpen, and right now that is not nearly enough as his team is falling fast out of the wild-card race. By Corey Seidman
