Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto is reportedly expected to seek a record-setting contract for a catcher when he becomes a free agent next winter.
Jon Heyman of MLB Network reported Realmuto will push for an annual salary that exceeds the $23 million the Minnesota Twins paid Joe Mauer. He also noted Realmuto "quite possibly" could look for a seven-year deal.
Buster Posey is currently the highest-paid catcher in baseball at $21.4 million, which came as part of the eight-year, $168 million extension he signed in 2013.
