Spring Training 2026

One of the off-season acquisitions that was mentioned frequently was Blake Hunt, who supposedly was to challenge Campusano for the back-up catching job. However, after several games into ST, not seen him in a game - we've seen Fermin (of course), Duran, Salas and even Vilar but no Hunt.
Is Hunt hurt or is he no longer in their plans, even at the AAA level? Thought he had a legitimate chance, at least to start the season at EP, and then possibly brought up if Campy fails. Still a long way to go in ST.

never know who is nicked up for the first 6 games. Did note that one of the few NRI still waiting his turn is Buehler ... even when others are getting one inning appearances and now some on their second.
