How much outside interest is there in J.T. Realmuto? The Marlins are about to find out.
When the General Managers’ Meetings are held next week in Carlsbad, California, teams interested in trading for the All-Star catcher might need to take numbers as they await their turn to talk to the Marlins about him.
The interest level is expected to be high, especially after Realmuto’s agent said earlier this week that the catcher does not intend to sign a contract extension with the Marlins and expects him to be traded before spring training.
“I think he definitely will be wearing a different uniform by the start of spring training,” Realmuto’s agent, Jeff Berry, told MLB Network Radio.
