Reactions: Johnny Bench wanted J.T. Realmuto for Cincinnati Reds
For much of the offseason, the Cincinnati Reds were believed to be among several Major League Baseball teams - in addition to the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres, Atlanta Braves and Tampa Bay Rays - vying for the services of Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto.
The Philadelphia Phillies hadn't been mentioned in weeks in Realmuto trade rumors, but they returned to the mix - per multiple reports - earlier this week. And now they're the team that finally has executed a trade for the 2018 All-Star with the Fish.
