Bryce Harper landed a record-breaking 13-year contract worth $330 million with the Philadelphia Phillies in February 2019.

Now, the 27-year-old All-Star outfielder wants Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto to get his.

"I think the Phillies organization absolutely loves J.T. and our team absolutely loves him as well," Harper told NBC Sports Philadelphia's Jim Salisbury.

Harper continued:

"He's the best catcher in baseball. He's a great person. He's a great family man. He's a guy that we need in our clubhouse. I think the Phillies fans understand that as well.
