This might be one of the longest games of poker played by the Miami Marlins this offseason when it comes to making a deal for catcher J.T. Realmuto.

The Marlins hold all the cards, having Realmuto, 27, under contract through 2020. What’s behind Door 1 or Door 2 has more to do with what CEO Derek Jeter will accept in return for a player they were willing to sign to a long-term deal, but according to several sources, they low-balled at the offer table.
