J.T. Realmuto may have created plenty of noise with his decision to ask for a trade before the 2019 baseball season, but that doesn’t mean he is sitting around waiting for a deal to get done. The Miami Marlins catcher is crushing baseballs in Japan while part of an MLB All-Star exhibition team. He said he knows any decision on a trade or where he plays next year is in the hands of the Marlins front office.
Realmuto may be playing a “wait and see” game, but the fact remains he has a home to play baseball in 2019 for the moment.
