"The Phillies have signed catcher Mark Kolozsvary to a minor league contract, The Athletic's Will Sammon reports. The deal contains an invitation for Kolozsvary to attend Philadelphia's big league spring camp. Kolozsvary has played in only 11 Major League games, and none since the 2023 season. Rafael Marchan and Garrett Stubbs are the only other catchers in the Phillies organization with any big league playing time at all, so the 30-year-old Kolozsvary adds some experience to the depth chart."
"A seventh-round pick for the Reds in the 2017 draft, Kolozsvary's time with his original team culminated in 10 MLB games and 21 plate appearances during the 2022 season. The Orioles claimed Kolozsvary off waivers from Cincinnati following the 2022 campaign, and Kolozsvary ended up making a single appearance as a late-game defensive sub during a brief stay on Baltimore's active roster in June 2023."
The Phillies added catcher Mark Kolozsvary on a minor league contract that includes an invitation to big-league spring camp. Kolozsvary has appeared in only 11 Major League games and has not played in the majors since 2023. Rafael Marchan and Garrett Stubbs are the only other Phillies catchers with MLB experience, so Kolozsvary provides additional depth for backup competition. J.T. Realmuto remains a key unresolved factor for the position, but the club likely would have added another catching option for Spring Training regardless. Kolozsvary was a 2017 seventh-round pick and has bounced through multiple organizations.
