Another National League West team appears to be in contention to land Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto and possibly add slugger Manny Machado as well. Let’s all welcome the San Diego Padres to the list of teams left in the Realmuto sweepstakes.
Per multiple sources, the Braves, Astros, Dodgers, Reds, Rays and now the Padres are all believed to be the remaining franchises looking to add Realmuto while putting together a package for the Marlins front office that meets their demands of players and/or prospects. Landing one superstar would be a huge coup for the west coast team.
