Two-out rundown seals Phillies’ loss in bizarre game-ending double play

In a strange ninth inning, the Phillies had men on second and third with one out when J.T. Realmuto, thinking Justin Crawford could escape a rundown, tried to advance on a Marsh ball off Dodgers reliever Tanner Scott. Crawford hesitated and was tagged out, but Realmuto also was retired on the same play as he attempted to move to second, ending the 2-1 defeat. Realmuto called it a lapse in judgment, and Crawford reflected on the poor decision-making. Don Mattingly had weighed pinch-hitting for Marsh but stuck with him, while Zack Wheeler pitched seven strong innings in a loss that highlighted a baffling baserunning sequence.

Rays Explored Realmuto as Catcher Upgrade Before Phillies Deal

The Rays weighed a big catcher upgrade this winter and were linked to J.T. Realmuto before he re-signed with the Phillies for three years and $45 million. With Nick Fortes and Hunter Feduccia atop Tampa Bay’s catching depth and a payroll around $80 million, Tampa Bay could have faced salary constraints that might have required moving a major piece (potentially Yandy Díaz) to fit Realmuto. Realmuto’s market moved quickly, and the Rays—who rarely pursue free agents—were seen favoring trades over big-ticket signings, with potential fit partners including Royals, Cardinals, or Pirates.
