JT Realmuto held his first public presser since baseball activities resumed today — and it was, as all things are these days, held via Zoom.
Things began rather awkwardly, as JT responded to the first question of the day with more of a statement than an answer.
He respectfully asked the media to refrain from any questions about contract negotiations between him and the Phillies, stating that talks were still in “preliminary stages,” and he wanted to hone in more on questions about the team, as he is more focused on helping the club win than he is on a big payday.
