Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto on Cincinnati Reds trade radar

The last three seasons have seen Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto establish himself as one of the absolute elite catchers in all of baseball. He’s hit .286/.338/.454 in 1655 PA in that time - good for an impressive 118 OPS+ - and has done so while playing most of his games in a cavernous home park. That has certainly been exemplified by his home/road splits, as he posted a road OPS nearly 100 points higher in 2018 one year after posting an .897 road OPS against just a .633 OPS in Marlins Stadium.

And, since he’s a Marlin, he’s obviously on the trade block, as the ownership of that franchise continues in their teardown of a once-talented squad, having already shipped out Giancarlo Stanton, Christian Yelich, and Marcell Ozuna in recent years.
