The Red Sox and the possibility of J. T. Realmuto: Though Red Sox offseason priorities appear to center around adding more pitching and an infield bat, catcher could be the setting for a splashy addition.
According to a report from Ken Rosenthal and Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic, the Red Sox are checking in on free agent catcher J.T. Realmuto.
“The Red Sox are showing interest in J.T. Realmuto, according to people briefed on their discussions,” noted The Athletic report.
Now 34, Realmuto would add leadership to a team potentially in need of it should third baseman Alex Bregman leave in the offseason.
