Trade talks between the Philadelphia Phillies and Miami Marlins regarding star catcher J.T. Realmuto are "gaining momentum," according to Jon Paul Morosi of MLB.com (h/t Joe Frisaro).
However, the Marlins are holding out for pitching prospect Sixto Sanchez, per that report:
"A source told MLB.com on Wednesday that Sanchez is viewed as a 'must' to be included in a trade package for Realmuto. Earlier this week, the Phillies re-engaged with Miami regarding Realmuto. Miami, per sources, also is in talks with the Cincinnati Reds, San Diego Padres, Los Angeles Dodgers, Atlanta Braves and Tampa Bay Rays.
