Before the 2024 Carlos Narváez trade, many Boston Red Sox fans wondered when the team would upgrade its catching tandem. Even after the rookie's breakout, they might be looking for another backstop.
Boston has shown interest in longtime Philadelphia Phillies catcher, J.T. Realmuto, according to Jen McCaffrey and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic (subscription required). The veteran has been one of the most well-rounded catchers in baseball since he first arrived in Philly in 2019, and he would be an upgrade on both sides of the ball for the Red Sox.
McCaffrey notes that signing a catcher is not high on the Red Sox's list of offseason priorities, as evidenced by chief baseball officer Craig Breslow's endorsement of Connor Wong before the arbitration deadline.
