Ellis spent 2017 backing up J.T. Realmuto in Miami, but for the second straight season, he failed to provide much in the way of offense, after previously handling lefties well enough to garner consideration in NL-only leagues as a second catcher who simply didn't hurt owners while he was active. Throughout his career, Ellis' defense behind the plate and ability to handle pitching staffs solidified his place on a 25-man roster. He'll turn 37 in April, and it may be the end of the line for him as a player, as he's been a below-replacement-level player in two of his last four seasons. If he gets a look with another team in spring training, a roster spot is hardly guaranteed, and if he manages to stick until Opening Day, it will be as a lightly utilized backup, likely on a second-division squad lacking a younger major-league ready backup.
