I might not be the only one who thinks the Miami Marlins keep catcher J.T. Realmuto on the roster at the beginning of the season. If the growing concerns over the package the organization is looking for in a trade scenario continue, then No. 11 may very well be the team’s Opening Day backstop on 2019.
Don’t get too happy about it, Marlins fans. It will be for a short stay as the 27-year-old could still find a new home by the MLB Trade Deadline.
One team rumored to be at the top of the list of “contenders” for Realmuto’s services, the Atlanta Braves, signed Brian McCann in the offseason, but remain on every prognosticator’s radar along with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Houston Astros and a host of other franchises.
