All of the sudden, it looks like teams might back off a trade for Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto. The Atlanta Braves and Houston Astros have both made overtures of bringing in the 27-year-old All-Star and making a push toward the World Series. Now, the Los Angeles Dodgers, the team perceived to be the front-runner in this sweepstakes, may have pumped the breaks a bit after a blockbuster deal completed before Christmas.
Realmuto might be one of the more attractive names to be had this offseason, with slugger Bryce Harper in the Dodgers radar and a potential deal for pitcher Corey Kluber on the table still within reach for Los Angeles.
