LAKELAND, Fla. — Up until last year, Andrew Knapp enjoyed a fairly stable baseball life. He’d spent the first eight seasons catching for one organization — the Phillies. Drafted in 2013, he debuted in 2017 and was J.T. Realmuto’s back-up catcher from 2019-2021.
Then the safety net broke.
“I had such a crazy year,” said the 31-year-old Knapp, whom the Tigers have invited to big-league camp this spring. “Four organizations. I had a million teammates — which was fun. It was a new experience for me, for sure.”
