Daily News | Prospect Logan O’Hoppe talks trade deadline rumors, future with Phillies
Logan O'Hoppe scores past Phillies catcher Andrew Knapp on an inside-the-park homer during an intrasquad game at Citizens Bank Park on July 21, 2020Reading Fightin Phils catcher Logan O’Hoppe says he isn’t paying attention to rumors as the trade deadline approaches. Instead the 22-year-old spent his Monday night signing autographs at Carl’s Cards & Collectibles in Havertown.
O’Hoppe, a top prospect, was selected by the Phillies in the 23rd round of the 2018 draft out of West Islip, N.Y. His path to the majors with the Phillies appears to be blocked by the highest-paid catcher in baseball, J.T. Realmuto. “I would drive myself crazy trying to think of all the different scenarios. … I really would like to be around [Realmuto] and learn from him,” O’Hoppe told them.
O’Hoppe said he has stayed off Twitter and hasn’t heard from the organization. He says Philly is the place he wants to be.
