J.T. Realmuto is the best catcher in baseball and arguably the top overall free agent in this year's class beyond NL Cy Young front-runner Trevor Bauer.
The 29-year-old hit .266/.349/.491 for a 123 OPS+ this season with 11 home runs and 32 RBI, and he is just a year removed from winning Gold Glove honors.
Jon Heyman of MLB Network reported in February that Realmuto had his sights set on becoming the highest-paid catcher in MLB history based on average annual value. That distinction belongs to Joe Mauer, who earned $23 million per year from 2011 to 2018 after signing an extension with the Minnesota Twins.
