Phillies Evaluating Garrett Stubbs' Role for 26th Roster Spot

The Philadelphia Phillies are considering Garrett Stubbs for the 26th roster spot, testing him at infield and outfield positions during spring training. Stubbs, who lacks minor league options, signed a split contract that pays $925,000 if he makes the major league roster. Despite his clubhouse value, questions remain regarding his offensive production compared to other roster candidates, leading to internal debate over his fit as a utility player versus a backup catcher.
