The San Diego Padres have been looking for that stable catcher to put behind the plate for a while now and one of the best in the game could be coming available next offseason.
Whether or not there is a season in 2020, service time remains the same for players, which means J.T. Realmuto will still be hitting free agency this winter unless the Philadelphia Phillies are able to extend him before then.
Realmuto is one of the best — if not the best — all-around catchers in baseball as he’s a great defensive and offensive catcher.
