The Philadelphia Phillies seem hesitant to give J.T. Realmuto a deal.
As always, J.T. Realmuto is dedicated to not bad-mouthing his team. He refused to speak ill of the Miami Marlins while they shopped him around prior to the 2019 campaign. When asked about the possibility of a deal with the Phillies in the near future, Realmuto was succinct:
I’d appreciate if we can keep the questions away from the contract situation, just because we were in the really preliminary stages early on in Spring Training before the pandemic and we haven’t really gone anywhere since then.
