Four Phillies starting catcher options in 2021, if J.T. Realmuto does not return.

The catching market is becoming razor thin — with James McCann and Mike Zunino off the table, signing deals with the New York Mets and Tampa Bay Rays, respectively. J.T. Realmuto remains available, but continues to draw attention from teams other than just the Philadelphia Phillies. On Saturday, MLB Network’s Jon Heyman reported that the Washington Nationals have interest in the free agent.
