The Philadelphia Phillies and J.T. Realmuto will have their arbitration hearing next week, per John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia. Will there be enough time after the hearing to hammer out a long-term deal to keep Realmuto in pinstripes before the regular season begins?
General manager Matt Klentak sure hopes so.
“I try not to operate with hard deadlines or operate in absolutes, but yes it would be nice to have some sort of resolution prior to Opening Day just so it’s not a distraction, mostly to the player, but even to us during the season,” Klentak said to the collective media Thursday.
