Bryce Harper and Zack Wheeler have been among those who have stressed how important it is for the Philadelphia Phillies to re-sign J.T. Realmuto. Monday, they got a new public advocate, one who hasn’t even thrown a pitch to the two-time All-Star catcher yet.
Shortly before his introductory press conference, new Phillies reliever Archie Bradley tweeted out “#SignJT,” and also retweeted a fan’s homemade sign with the same message. Bradley, inked to a one-year/$6 million deal, carried that same energy into his first meeting with the Philadelphia media.
